Deadly ‘Wet-Bulb’ Temperatures Are Smothering the Eastern U.S.

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-12-25 05:00:40

The human body lowers its temperature by sweating, and when sweat evaporates, it cools the surface of the skin. Humidity slows this process down, increasing the risk of heat-related illness.
