@theconversationau I think they need to check their numbers. What’s the cost of Darwin being unfit for human habitation? #ClimateAdaptation #WetBulbTemperature #Heatwave

I thought #WetBulbTemperature would be the thing causing deaths in these #heatwaves around the world .. but it seems some of the serious burns and deaths in #Arizona are from people collapsing on super hot roads and sidewalks ☹️ #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/21/burns-cases-excessive-heat-arizona-nevada

@jakers I know..find it staggering with all the record breaking temperatures in #USA #China #Europe there is almost no mention of #WetBulbTemperature and risks of death from the heat. This is #ClimateChange happening now.

Really amazed that with all this talk of #Cerberus #HeatWave in #Europe there has been almost no mention at all of the #WetBulbTemperature. This is the temperature where people become unable to sweat to cool down. It's related to humidity but next few days these will be a real issue particularly in tourist areas of #Spain and #Italy. The first chapter of #TheMinistryForTheFuture gives a graphic description of a #WetBulb event in #India.. not an easy read but sadly a taste of things to come with #ClimateChange. This graph show the risks from temperature and humidity. #WetBulbGlobalTemperature

I don't think most Americans realize that although the sensibly hottest places (e.g., Arizona) will suffer from their own climate change effects (like water stress), thanks to humidity the more direct and imminent effects of deadly heat are going to be in the southeast, midwest, east coast. #wetbulbtemperature #endlesssummer #climatechange

⚠️ Early Warning — Dangerous Wet Bulb Temperatures forecast for parts of Texas on Friday.

Reminder: The actual max wet-bulb temp is lower than 35°C — about 31°C wet-bulb or 87°F at 100% humidity — even for young, healthy individuals. For older populations, who are more vulnerable to heat, it’s likely even lower. (See https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00738.2021)

@Sustainable2050 Since I’ve read „The Ministry of the Future“ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ministry_for_the_Future) I get really nervous when I hear about unusually high temperatures in the tropics. #WetBulbTemperature

Week 213 Bega Climate Strike. Research this week showing that parts of Australia (and across Middle East and South East Asia) will become uninhabitable in our lifetimes, at our current trajectory. #ClimateEmergency #WetBulbTemperature #Heatwaves

Der Wetterbericht für #Indien sagt, dass es dort morgen 36°C heiß werden soll, bei einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von >40%. Das ist also bereits im schwarzen, tödlichen Bereich der #WetBulbTemperature. Draußen arbeiten ist dann lebensgefährlich.

Die #WetBulbTemperature: wenn die #Luftfeuchtigkeit zu hoch ist und es gleichzeitig sehr heiß ist, kann der Mensch die Körpertemperatur nicht mehr ausreichend durch #Schwitzen senken und auch nicht mehr durch ein feuchtes Tuch. Der Körper überhitzt ( #Hitzeschock ) und man stirbt. #Indien #India

As we continue to heat:

A recent study reveals lower human survivability threshold for wet bulb temperatures. (See https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00738.2021)

Data showed that critical temperatures range from 25°C to 28°C in hot-dry environments and from 30°C to 31°C in warm-humid environments, lower than the previously held 35°C theory.

As a result concerns should arise for young, healthy people in humid parts of the world when the wet-bulb temperature is above 31°C.

> Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (130 °F). The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is a wet-bulb temperature of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F).[3]

> 生存の限界の暑さ
人類にとっての生存の限界の暑さは湿球温度35°Cとされ、それ以上の環境では健康な若者でも6時間ほどいると死に至るといわれる。2020年現在では湿球温度35°Cに到達した地域は極めて少ないが、ペルシャ湾岸では2015年頃以降、短時間ながらもこれに到達する事態が既にしばしば発生している。地球温暖化の影響により、世界的に夏の暑さが厳しくなる傾向にあり、21世紀中に夏の暑さがこれに到達する地域が急増すると予測され、南アジアや中東、中国の華北の辺りなどもこれに到達する日が本格的に出現するのが比較的早いと予測されている。

> .. ‘The #MinistryForTheFuture’, #KimStanleyRobinson depicts an intense heatwave in India. In an ‘ordinary town’ in the northern state of #UttarPradesh, people are struggling to cope with unbearable heat and humidity. It is the combination of the two, measured by the so-called ‘ #WetBulbTemperature’, that is potentially fatal. When it approaches the core body temperature of 36C, sweat cannot evaporate and humans can no longer cool themselves down...

> .. as the wet-bulb temperature approaches your core temperature, you lose the ability to cool down. This triggers changes in your body. You dehydrate.. organs become stressed, especially your heart. Blood rushes to your skin.. to release heat, starving your internal organs. The results can be deadly. “Once the #WetBulbTemperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), no amount of sweating or other adaptive behavior is enough to lower your body to a safe operating temperature,”

#WetBulbTemperature is the scariest part of #ClimateChange you’ve never heard of

The impacts of increased heat have been left out because we assume, incorrectly it turns out, that human beings can adapt to moderate increases in global temperature.
This turns out to be false, particularly in areas prone to hot and #humid weather. It all comes down to one measure: wet bulb...

Why Is Everybody Talking About "Wet Bulb Temperatures"?

As the #Arctic circle reaches temperatures of nearly 50°C (120°F) and an unprecedented #heatwave causes hundreds of deaths in #Canada and the Pacific Northwest United States, people are asking: what’s a #WetBulbTemperature?”
