There’s no end in sight for the brutal heat wave that’s gripping cities from coast-to-coast, causing nearly three dozen deaths in six states. In Texas, frustrations are mounting with more than a million people facing a fourth day without power in the wake of Hurricane Beryl.
Record-setting heat waves have gripped the U.S. only weeks into summer, and at least 30 people are suspected to have died from heat-related issues so far this summer. Climate change is fueling new heat extremes, and researchers who are racing to better understand the limits of human survival are increasingly focused on determining at what temperature thresholds people can survive without air conditioning and how soon some parts of the world could reach deadly levels.
It’s the measure of temperature if a thermometer was covered with a wet cloth to evaporate heat and approximates the cooling of skin by sweat. “The wet-bulb temperature has to be a few degrees cooler than the inside of your body,” Denning said. Otherwise, heat won’t flow away from your body.
