    The biggest issue in the US is wet-bulb temps in the southeast.

    For people that aren’t aware, wetbulb temps essentially measure how well you can cool yourself down by sweating. Humid air means sweating is less effective since it can’t evaporate.

    A wetbulb temp of 95°F (35°C) will kill someone in less than a workday if they’re not given proper breaks.
