It’s a bigger number in Fahrenheit, that’s why we like it. HUGE

Three men walk into a bar. The American says, “actually that’s only 1 3/23 men in FreedomTM units”.

42.6 °C actually (Rio de Janeiro). That “nearly 60 °C” is the heat index. It is very worrying though…

Yes, this report uses the heat index, which accounts for heat + humidity. Basically, a “feels like” temperature.

Not to undermine the extremely concerning temperature trends, but that point should be clarified.

the article is a bit misleading, actual temp was 42.5C, 58C was the felt temperature. which is still absurdly hot, but that is quite a difference

Ultimately what really matters is wet bulb temperature. When the combination of hit and humidity hits the point where the body can no longer cool itself by sweating, then people just die.

Brb, my sauna is finally at 100°C.
