    Bad headline but interesting article. Definitely shows that some of the reporting on this topic has been very misleading—especially the suggestion that drier climates won’t experience these dangerous conditions.

    Will look forward to a new map beyond just wet bulb temperatures that shows the real distribution of future heat danger.

    The take-away is that higher temperatures with low humidity are more deadly than previously thought, so that you can have deadly heat below the wet bulb threshold.
