Original Note:
The OP has mistaken “Wet Bulb Temp” (what she thinks these figures show) w/“Wet Bulb Globe Temp” (what they actually show). The military has used WBGT for decades as a work/rest guide. You work less above 90°, but you definitely won’t “die in the shade”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature
