More than half these comments are meaningless because they misunderstand what Wet Bulb temperature is.
I too didn’t understand what Wet Bulb temperatures meant until I used this calculator: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb
95F TB (Temperature Wet Bulb) is when the humidity is 100% and it is 95F out. The lower the humidity, the lower the TB value. At 40% humidity and 120F temperature, you get 96F TB. Imagine 120F at 40% humidity. Insane, right?
That’s what kind of temperatures this paper is talking about: dangerously hot and humid.
