I wish that society can learn about and apply the concept of a wet bulb temperature. A dry bulb temperature of 30C contains little information regarding safety. Humans are wet and we cool ourselves with evaporation. | ||

> Unions want enforceable workplace thermal limits, based on the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/08/unions-e... The submission just doesn't include it, but that seems to be the goal to apply that concept :) | ||

First, weather services would need to report it. None of the ones I've seen do. Most don't even report feels-like temperature, they just report plain temperature... in my city (often windy and humid) it's all but useless, you can need a jacket with 21ºC one day and be comfortable without it with 16ºC the next. | ||
