Walking around Rome on Monday, seemed like conditions were close to the limit. 40C and 36% RH. 28C wet bulb equivalent.

- inciampati 4y agoI am much further south in Italy, living and working without air conditioning through most of the summer. Yes, it's not super comfortable. But we (humans in general) can adapt, and by the time the fall comes 35C feels cool. I wonder how many of the volunteers of the study live in temperature controlled environments. I'm sure this is documented in the paper. My roundabout point is that it's a stretch to extrapolate from a population living with modern comforts to one that is exposed to the climate directly.
