Between 1.7-2.3°C some places will be contending with 200+ days where the combined temperature and humidity conditions will pose a risk of mortality to many individuals.
Urgent conversations need to get underway of how to keep people safe.
@peterdutoit I’m not negating the deadly effects of heat and humidity to human health. I’m just wondering if creating a model based on a single study is enough.
@mj for the purpose of this map they used a synthesis study, but there is a large body of work examining the relationship between heat-humidity conditions and mortality which underpins this risk assement.
