> Humans’ ability to efficiently shed heat has enabled us to range over every continent, but a wet-bulb temperature (TW) of 35°C marks our upper physiological limit, and much lower values have serious health and productivity impacts. Climate models project the first 35°C TW occurrences by the mid-21st century. However, a comprehensive evaluation of weather station data shows that some coastal subtropical locations have already reported a TW of 35°C and that extreme humid heat overall has more than doubled in frequency since 1979. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/19/eaaw1838.full https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/19/eaaw1838.full > fringe regions I wouldn't call India a fringe region and typically cities are hardest hit.
