New research says this dangerous wet bulb temperature is happening sooner than we thought. Read more: grist.org/clim... #climatechange #heatwaves #science
Hey folks! If you're wanting Celsius conversions, we added those to the captions. We'll ensure future videos are more accessible. Thank you and 95ºF = 35ºC
It's not just 95, also 120 and all the other temperatures mentioned. Internet is for all, not just for a niche population using their own units. Making it more accessible brings down walls.
Interesting. I always wondered how people don't get air fried when they ride motorcycles in 100 degree weather. I guess it all has to do with humidity.
Damn I never thought this would happen on the Eastern shore Maryland July 2023 no wonder so many people have been having issues with heart rate and heat exhaustion
On May 18 2024 my son survived a fever of 118f (48C) he spent 4 months in a Toronto Hospital and is expected make a full recover and will attend law school in 2025,
Even at those levels the wet bulb is below the 95 threshold but still very bad. 100F at 83% humidity causes a 95+ wet bulb. That doesn't lead to instantaneous death either obviously. It'll still take a few hours exposed to those temperatures before most people succumb to heat related death.
Mhm lets say i have experience with that temp +humidity /higher temps with lower humidity over many years and one day is just burned in my mind we had to 38°C with 79% relativ humidity and i had too wore my full work outfit (see profile pic) and yeah im kinda lucky i didn't have a heat stroke / passed out / dieded (big pools of molten metal are dangerous if you faint ) well end of the day i poured my boots out about 100 ml sweat what wasnst avsobed by the shoes and well my body was red from the extended blood vessels under the skin (too radiate heat away last resort for our body ) and the thermometer i got for our job side doctor read 41,3 °C soo yeha close enough (for me at least )
When the humidity rate is so high, it rains. It’s not instant death, you can easily solve the problem by just standing in the shade, drinking a little water. Not shocking these extremes are in places where the desert is the most common feature, that also sit in the middle of a valley, just like LA, it amplifies the heat island. In third world countries, like those shown, people dump garbage and chemicals everywhere, which isn’t helping.
A large part of the southern US is now crossing the threshold above 95°F wet bulb temperature. How does this compare to predictions? Where will we see the threshold crossed next? When might large population centers like NYC, LA, or global cities see the threshold crossed?
what if your father on a dare agreed to be in a environment that got to 495° wet bulb tempature as his whole body ignited like an ectoplasmic light ornament and everything inside was erupting over the intense he and he let out a roar " SAAAN""" trying to call out to you be alas in seconds he was turnt to dust in an alt univrse wwyd?
Central Texas only got rain 2 times this summer. It’s humid af here and has been forever., The elites are pushing their climate change bs agenda. Weather has only been measured for 100 years. I’d rather suffer in Texas heat than live anywhere else!
Thumbs down for NOT converting Fahrenheit to Celsius!!! Get off your high horse, the U.S. is only ONE country, and almost ALL of the others are using Celsius.
Only less than 5% of the World understands that gibberish units. Please include Celsius. It's almost like people think the US is not already on the SI (hint: veritasium - is america actually metric?)
@@Psychol-Snooper RU-vid, as well as the entire internet are international at this point, yes many things may have started off in the US, but nowadays audiences and content creators are from all over the world. Don't act like the US id the center of the world, after all it's just a part of it.
It's getting hard to tell if it's climate change that people are feeling OR it's simply their own body temperatures naturally increasing from having to work harder, longer hours to keep up with the inflation (that we're not supposed to talk about) that is outpacing wage increases.
It is obviously a video made by Americans on an American platform. Just like Americans have to convert measurements when given in metric, others can easily convert to metric as well. Typically though all things medical or science related usually uses the metric system, even in America.
Bro, did you even watch the video? They explain the importance of humidity in relation to heat and why it's the combination of the two, web bulb, that matters in determining the fatality/health effect of temperature
adding to the other 2 comments, Just because it's that temperature and humidity outside doesn't mean people are all living in that. In the west (and increasingly all over) most people hop from air conditioned car to air conditioned building and on;y expose them selves to the extremes for short duration's. There are also the mentioned water parks that can keep you cool enough to survive but heat waves regularly kill people.
😂 Spending half my working career behind an asphalt paver I usher you nothing gets hotter than that by 3:00 in the afternoon. You can just about mold your hard hat with your hands. If it didn't kill us. You'll be all right. They need to stop screwing with the weather. See how that works for a while.
@@leafbranch1872 Really! I have been hearing about cloud seeding since early 70s. I live my life outside. I see cross hatched contrails in the sky at least two or three times a year. We've detonated tons of nuclear bombs.. I guess we accept some things as a society. You don't think making it rain when and where it's not supposed to doesn't screw with weather cycles. Just because we can does it mean we should? And we proven ourselves time and time again to be stupid about things. Like when we've ripped up the planes and 7 ft of the most fertile topsoil on Earth blew off the face of it. That was a good one.
