Isn't there an old saying? A young, healthy adult dies in weeks without food, in days without water and in minutes without air. To that we should add: a young, healthy adult dies in hours of 35°C wet bulb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Wet-bulb_temperature_and_health https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Wet-bulb_... "A sustained wet-bulb temperature exceeding 35 °C (95 °F) is likely to be fatal even to fit and healthy people, unclothed in the shade next to a fan; at this temperature human bodies switch from shedding heat to the environment, to gaining heat from it.[9] In practice, such ideal conditions for humans to cool themselves will not always exist – hence the high fatality levels in the 2003 European and 2010 Russian heat waves, which saw wet-bulb temperatures no greater than 28°C. [10]" Lytton, British Columbia reached 33°C wet bulb yesterday, 29-June-2021. British...Columbia. In Canada. Like a lightning bold from the gods, this kind of event can happen virtually anywhere. And it will, more and more frequently. PS: I'm pretty shaken up by the recent heat event, where it reached 112°F at my home near Olympia, Washington, right on the Puget sound. Prior all time high temperature, in August, was 104°F some years back. If 33°C wet bulb had hit over Seattle/Portland, it's quite possible that thousands could have died. We're in for a very rocky road.
