35° wet bulb 48 hour challenge

How do you plan to survive anons?
>A 35°C wet bulb temperature is the theoretical limit of human survivability. At this level, the body can no longer cool itself through sweat evaporation, even in shade with a breeze. Prolonged exposure can lead to heatstroke and death, making it a critical threshold in climate and health studies.

>What is that crap you're talking about anon?
Wet bulb temperature:
>Wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature air can reach by evaporative cooling. It combines air temperature and humidity, indicating how effectively sweat can cool the body. High wet bulb temperatures (above 35°C) can be deadly, as the body loses its ability to cool down through evaporation.

35° wet bulb as a function of various temperature and relative humidity combinations

A scenario as imagine by ChatGPT where for 48 hours the WBT stays at or above 35°C:
>That’s an extreme and dangerous scenario—sustained wet bulb temperatures at or above 35°C (95°F) for 48 hours would be lethal for humans without artificial cooling, regardless of hydration or shade.
>Here's how it could play out in a fictional setting, with updates every 3 hours:
---
>Day 1
>00:00 – Alert Issued:
A record-breaking heat dome settles over the region. Wet bulb temperature hits 35.1°C. Emergency services issue a Level 5 Heat Emergency. Power grids begin experiencing strain.
>03:00 – Night Provides No Relief:
Temperatures remain steady. People trying to sleep are soaked in sweat. Cooling shelters overflow.
>06:00 – Sunrise, But No Cool Air:
The sun rises, but wet bulb temp is still 35.3°C. Hospitals report cases of heatstroke doubling overnight.
>09:00 – Water Shortages Begin:
Power outages knock out water pumps in some areas. Makeshift water stations are set up. Some neighborhoods report no running water.
>12:00 – Infrastructure Fails:
As wet bulb temperature climbs to 35.6°C, blackouts spread across the region. Air conditioning systems shut down. Panic sets in.
>15:00 – Emergency Broadcast:
Authorities urge evacuation, but roads are melting. Asphalt buckles. Public transport halts due to overheating systems.
>18:00 – Wildlife Dying Off:
Birds fall from the sky. Crops wilt. Wet bulb temp holds at 35.5°C. Livestock deaths are widespread.
>21:00 – Desperation:
People break into public fountains and hydrants. Hospitals overwhelmed. Makeshift cooling centers spring up, many without power.
---
>Day 2
>00:00 – No Respite:
The second night begins. Still 35.2°C. Entire families camp outside in parks hoping for a breeze. None comes.
>03:00 – Mass Casualties:
First mass fatalities confirmed in low-income neighborhoods. Hospitals running out of body storage.
>06:00 – Dawn of Despair:
The sun rises on a parched city. Drones show images of collapsed people in the streets. Wet bulb 35.4°C.
>09:00 – Federal Intervention:
Military deployed to airlift survivors. Emergency cooling tents set up but are overwhelmed within minutes.
>12:00 – Critical Threshold Reached:
Scientists warn this is the longest known wet bulb heat event in history. Wet bulb temp peaks at 35.9°C.
>15:00 – Survivors Retreat Underground:
Basements and subways become survival zones. Battery-powered fans used until they die. Still 35.6°C.
>18:00 – Atmospheric Shift Imminent:
Satellite imagery shows a potential weather front approaching. Hope rises slightly.
>21:00 – Edge of Collapse:
Final update before relief: 48th hour at 35.1°C. First signs of incoming storm front could finally bring it below 35.

Also 35°C wet bulb for 48 hours is guaranteed to depop this country by at least 20%

Grid will go down real quick my friend, in such an event.
Even during last year's heatwaves, the infrastructure had started to struggle, there were reports of bijli guys having to use coolers to cool down transformers kek

Shade does no help when WBT > 35°C
If anything, in such a situation, the trees will only further increase the WBT in their region due to their moisture
