News programs normally report
on dry bulb temperatures.
That isn’t the temperature
that kills people.
Wet bulb temperatures
kill people.
Wet bulbs temperatures
factor in
humidity.
Anything above 35C/95F
is dangerous
for humans.
Our perspiration doesn’t
evaporate.
Our cooling systems
break down.
It doesn’t matter
if we’re super fit
or young
or wearing sunscreen.
We could die.
Our employees could die.
Our customers could die.
If your business
is outside-based,
watch the wet bulb temperatures.
(That is sometimes
reported on
as the ‘feels like’ temperature.)
Take action
if the temperatures
reach the danger zone.
