Because those aren't wet bulb temperatures? https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/at-40-c-capital-feels-like-52-c-as-high-humidity-spikes-heat-index

  Yeah. While probably the way it's calculated makes sense to reflect how warm or cold a day is, it's making headlines because obviously it's shocking "everyone" when you've to read that more than 30C is unbearable ...

    Which is why the article sensibly doesn't put the 31°C figure in the headline and before mentioning it at all makes sure to explain what wet-bulb temperature is, how it's different from a normal temperature reading and why it's useful.

  Wow that's scary! It sounds like one of the most populous cities on earth is already close to the limit of human survivability
