Are you sure about those temperatures/humidities? 100 F with 99 % humidity equates to a wet bulb of 37.75 C [2], well above the commonly accepted theoretically survivable limit of 35 C.

- ltbarcly3 4y agoI remember specifically days where we woke up and it was already 96 degrees and there were still puddles from the rain the previous day. I think what it means to survive those temperatures may be the issue here, because obviously you don't just drop dead if you are a healthy 18 year old. An obese 65 year old will be long dead in an environment that a healthy 18 year old can run wind sprints in.
