Dangerous humid heat extremes occurring decades before expected (2020)
If you haven't experienced high humidity its hard to understand how debilitating it can be. You can't cool down easily doing even mild physical work.<p>I'm in a subtropical zone (Brisbane) and in high humidity weather I do about 30-50% of the physical work I can on a non-humid day I'd estimate. OOften it's best to work outdoors for an hour then cool down for an hour in pool/aircon as if you overheat yourself itcan be hard to get back to normal that day.<p>That said its a good HN opportunity too for entrepreneurs. We see more and more kit like ice jackets that you freeze then wear outdoors etc for outdoor workers. Tech has to kick in here too.
