@ai6yr Is this more useful than wet bulb? What's this new variation for?

@MLE_online No, it's just part of the wet bulb calculation.

@ai6yr 😵💫
I'm tired of all these things, whatever they are. Just say, "It's kind of hot, really hot, or extremely hot!"

All you have to know is if the wet bulb temp is higher than about 95 degrees Fahrenheit then you will die within a few hours of being in it. (the higher it is the fewer the hours).

@ChuckMcManis @ai6yr That is not all we need to know. Most of our interactions with the weather aren't deadly

@MLE_online @ai6yr I was being specific to the term 'heat'. There are others, like "if winds are over 100mph and you go outside you will die.", "if rain is accumulating faster than 12" per hour in a US city and you're in a car, you will die. " Things like that. There are a lot of assumptions in building code, civil codes, Etc, about what is "unlikely" and so need not be considered. Those assumptions will be tested extensively in the coming decade.
