Extreme heat waves can cause cases of dehydration, exhaustion, heat stroke and even death. But the air temperature isn't the ...

The analysis calculated an approximate form of “wet-bulb globe temperature,” a metric that combines temperature, humidity, sunlight and wind. Scientists consider it the gold standard for ...

Their effect on our bodies can be measured through wet-bulb temperature. Wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is a measurement of dry air (or dry-bulb) temperature – what we typically read on a ...
