Yeah actually it's not even so much about the humans. Humans can deal with changing temperatures. Plants (that we eat) cannot.
Wet bulb temp of 95° F is the start of deadly heat for humans. That'd be about 109° @ 50% humidity, or 130° with dry air. I'd say it'll be a crap shoot next year, when El Nino is in full swing, whether we see more crop or human death from the heat. But for a glorious moment, we created a lot of value for the shareholders...
THIS IS FINE!
A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research
Wow. Trouble. And in our road.
Can I ask where you learned that info? I’ve never heard it put that way.
Well a quick search found this...

Basically the air is warmer and wetter so the human body cannot shed heat.
dis is how a sauna works.
Never read the wiki before. Thanks. Terrifying
