quote [ Once this wetbulb temperature threshold is crossed, the air is so full of water vapour that sweat no longer evaporates. Without the means to dissipate heat, our core temperature rises, irrespective of how much water we drink, how much shade we seek, or how much rest we take. ]
Some scary humidity! In hindsight, it seems logical that physics dictate a wet heat more dangerous than a dry one.
