Basically wet bulb measures what "feels like" temperature is if you are soaked in water

It's hard to quantify because people are used to air temp and heat index. Climatecels use it because it makes them feel smart since literally no one else cares about it

tf kind of idiotic measurement is that

I assumed it had something to do with flower bulbs or electricity lol

The idea is that in less humid conditions the temperature will drop as the wet bulb dries but high humidity the bulb takes longer to dry if at all.

So 90 degrees wet bulb means it's going to be hot as shit and humid as shit

Climatecels like it because it's another thing they can doompost about

Pretty much every where on the gulf coast is humid as shit. Deep South Texas at least gets very breezy

From Houston to mobile is more or less the same weather with slight differences in rain totals and humidity.

If you can't evaporate sweat to loose heat, you die. Caring about that is literally the ONLY reason they "care" about WBGT

Wet bulb is a meme temperature that redditors heard about a couple years ago and now they can't stfu about it. Literally terrified of going outside.

The WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation). This differs from the heat index, which takes into consideration temperature and humidity and is calculated for shady areas. If you work or exercise in direct sunlight, this is a good element to monitor. Military agencies, OSHA and many nations use the WBGT as a guide to managing workload in direct sunlight.

Overly vague bullshit to help keep your r-slurs from getting heat stroke.

>Working or exercising in direct sunlight will stress your body after 15 minutes. Take at least 45 minutes of breaks each hour if working or exercising in direct sunlight.

Don't tell the guys picking my sweet potatoes about this. :marseysweating:
