@beechsundowner Not only are the data extant, we know where and why these #WT35C extremes take place. Too, it's kind of hard to run a society when it's in a sauna.
Basically the continuing emergence of wet bulb temperatures of 35 ℃ and above.

I’ve tagged this #WT35C –Web bulb Temperatures 35 °C have already emerged, albeit briefly and locally.

@statsguy All of this is way, way beyond my skill set —it's easy to come up with great ideas! That said, #WT35C has oft been hit, albeit briefly and locally: Persian Gulf... "Other >31°C hotspots in the weather station record emerge through surveying the globally highest 99.9th TW percentiles: eastern coastal India, Pakistan and northwestern India, and the shores of the Red Sea, Gulf of California, and southern Gulf of Mexico". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7209987/
We're going to be hearing a lot about the heat index, wet bulb thermometers, and —most accurately— the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT). #WT35C
@Pampa That's the heat index, not the #WT35C. They don't say where they're getting their data from. They don't even have a Wikipedia page! In any case I'm seeking something of much, much finer granularity, down to the weather station level, and working up an choropleth & chorochromatic maps from that.
Is there global wet bulb tracker or #bot? When places start hitting #WT 35 ℃ I want to know about it.
What was the highest WT on Earth yesterday, anyone have that data suite...?
