26-05-2026 31°C Twb recorded in Oxfordshire
31.8°C Twb is the upper range of te 26-31°C human risk index. Proff. Haley Fowler only talks about Wet Bulb Temperatures in Pakistan and the Global South. But the problem is that they are already occuring in the UK! Add to that the misinformation doing the rounds on Facebook. 35°C as a a oimit for human survival under wet bulb conditions is out of date. Published: 29 November 2023 " A physiological approach for assessing human survivability and liveability to heat in a changing climate. Jennifer Vanos, Gisel Guzman-Echavarria, …Ollie Jay Show authors Nature Communications volume 14. (2023) Abstract "Most studies projecting human survivability limits to extreme heat with climate change use a 35 °C wet-bulb temperature (Tw) threshold without integrating variations in human physiology. This study applies physiological and biophysical principles for young and older adults, in sun or shade, to improve current estimates of survivability and int...
