Humidity plays a big role. You can still cool down at 52 C if the air isn’t very humid (that is, when the wet bulb temperature is low enough). Wet bulb temperature is a particularly useful metric because it incorporates evaporative cooling in it. Sadly most thermometers can’t measure it.

I’ve been in 52 C heat (125 F) and it’s no joke, but you can still walk around, even in the sun, without exerting yourself too much.
I’ve also been in a room at 70 C (almost 160 F) for a few minutes and that was terrifying. The air is as if burning your insides, it’s absolutely unbearable. There is a world of difference between these two. I image 60 C for four hours would start killing people, particularly the elderly.

104·10 days agoI think this misses the mark. We’re going to the moon because there is a cadre of decrepit old farts in power that hate themselves and see this as their chance of hating themselves a little less and maybe even leave a mark in history before they spring their mortal coil.
They also have no ideas of their own, so instead of seeking something with substance, they just replicate what their child selves saw other people praise. It’s magical thinking, “they did this thing and are remembered today. I’ll repeat the incantation and get the same results”.
Yeah, but Israel can go suck a dick.
