We had 3 days last week where the air temp exceeded 37°C and the humidity was above 90%...in Europe last year 50,000 people died as a direct result of excessive heat. I wonder how many of those days were wet bulb?
Wet Bulb events need to be explained better to everyone &, where there's a risk of a 'wet bulb' they need to be added to the weather forecast, so people can be better prepared to protect their health.
