    Hey folks! If you're wanting Celsius conversions, we added those to the captions. We'll ensure future videos are more accessible. Thank you and 95ºF = 35ºC

      It's not just 95, also 120 and all the other temperatures mentioned.
      Internet is for all, not just for a niche population using their own units. Making it more accessible brings down walls.

    A large part of the southern US is now crossing the threshold above 95°F wet bulb temperature. How does this compare to predictions? Where will we see the threshold crossed next? When might large population centers like NYC, LA, or global cities see the threshold crossed?

    It's getting hard to tell if it's climate change that people are feeling OR it's simply their own body temperatures naturally increasing from having to work harder, longer hours to keep up with the inflation (that we're not supposed to talk about) that is outpacing wage increases.

      @kriswillman2779 Год назад +3

      Even at those levels the wet bulb is below the 95 threshold but still very bad.
      100F at 83% humidity causes a 95+ wet bulb.
      That doesn't lead to instantaneous death either obviously.
      It'll still take a few hours exposed to those temperatures before most people succumb to heat related death.

      adding to the other 2 comments, Just because it's that temperature and humidity outside doesn't mean people are all living in that. In the west (and increasingly all over) most people hop from air conditioned car to air conditioned building and on;y expose them selves to the extremes for short duration's. There are also the mentioned water parks that can keep you cool enough to survive but heat waves regularly kill people.

    When the humidity rate is so high, it rains. It’s not instant death, you can easily solve the problem by just standing in the shade, drinking a little water. Not shocking these extremes are in places where the desert is the most common feature, that also sit in the middle of a valley, just like LA, it amplifies the heat island. In third world countries, like those shown, people dump garbage and chemicals everywhere, which isn’t helping.
