    It's not just 95, also 120 and all the other temperatures mentioned. Internet is for all, not just for a niche population using their own units. Making it more accessible brings down walls.

    A large part of the southern US is now crossing the threshold above 95°F wet bulb temperature. How does this compare to predictions? Where will we see the threshold crossed next? When might large population centers like NYC, LA, or global cities see the threshold crossed?

    It's getting hard to tell if it's climate change that people are feeling OR it's simply their own body temperatures naturally increasing from having to work harder, longer hours to keep up with the inflation (that we're not supposed to talk about) that is outpacing wage increases.

    Even at those levels the wet bulb is below the 95 threshold but still very bad. 100F at 83% humidity causes a 95+ wet bulb. That doesn't lead to instantaneous death either obviously. It'll still take a few hours exposed to those temperatures before most people succumb to heat related death.
