| Feature request: Heat stroke prevention. Just heard an interview with author of recent paper about global risk of increased mortality due to climate change. (Radio, no cite, sorry.) Research team has clarified impact of "wet bulb", which is somehow combo of both ambient temperature and humidity, and prevalence of heat related deaths. Not just the Middle East, but also provided examples from Europe, Toronto, Louisiana. While wet bulb temp of 35 °C is life threatening, paper shows that with higher humidity even 27 °C can be dangerous for at-risk persons and has led to greater mortality. While the risk will certainly get worse, people have no intuition for it. Especially for outdoor work and activities. Any way. My immediate thought was my watch can alert me to wet bulb risks, a combination of weather and health monitoring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Wet-bulb_... |
