  • I’m looking at

    suggesting that humans cannot effectively thermoregulate in wet bulb temperatures (Twb) above 26 to 31 °C, values considerably lower than the widely publicized theoretical threshold of 35 °C

    And I’m thinking that showering or swimming in water at 31°C is considered “quite hot” and is representative of ocean water temperatures in some tropics like in Oceania.

    I researched a bit further and swimmers have died racing swimming in hot water, but possibly idling in hot water might give about 1-2°C margin of survivability compared to sweating in a wetbulb heatwave on land.

    However swimming pools are very often built underground in the style of an open top basement, and water often comes from wells, so I still think there’s some chances of surviving with the help of water.

    Now when ground temperatures rise above that lethal temperature, everyone without a heat pump is going to die.
