Promoting targeted heat early warning systems for at-risk populations - Nature Climate Change
Extreme heat poses a growing threat to vulnerable urban populations, and the existing heat early warning system usually operates at population level. Pairing emerging individualized and population ear...

This seems bad. Over time, what people have assumed was the physical limit of human heat tolerance keeps going down. It used to be thought it was a wet-bulb of 35C, now it seems it's more like 32C for resting humans and 27C for people doing minimal physical activity.

New findings indicate that human heat tolerance limits are lower than previously estimated, highlighting the need for updated health policies as climate change intensifies extreme heat conditions. doi.org/g9bdv8
New study validates lower limits of human heat tolerance
A study from the University of Ottawa's Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit (HEPRU) has confirmed that the limits for human thermoregulation—our ability to maintain a stable body temperature in extreme heat—are lower than previously thought.
