Greatly enhanced risk to humans as a consequence of empirically determined lower moist heat stress tolerance

As heatwaves become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting due to climate change, the question of breaching thermal limits becomes pressing. A wet-bulb temperature (T(w)) of 35 °C has been proposed as a theoretical upper limit on human abilities to biologically thermoregulate. But, recent—empiri...
