48 degrees Celsius (predicted temp) and 53% humidity (the humidity in Southern Italy today) is a wet bulb temperature of 38.52 degrees Celsius. In the danger zone.
That’s bad. 38 is at the upper limit of survivability in general. Might not be survivable for more than a few hours for elderly/sick/children.
To clarify for anyone reading, human bodies lose the ability cool themselves via evaporation/sweating at around 36 wet bulb degrees C, and body temperature starts to rise to match its surroundings. So it’s like having a constant high fever. 40 WB is survivable for like a couple of hours.
Oh crap. Does anyone know what the humidity range is going to be to convert it into wet bulb temp?
Someone above mentioned this:
