    That’s bad. 38 is at the upper limit of survivability in general. Might not be survivable for more than a few hours for elderly/sick/children.

    To clarify for anyone reading, human bodies lose the ability cool themselves via evaporation/sweating at around 36 wet bulb degrees C, and body temperature starts to rise to match its surroundings. So it’s like having a constant high fever. 40 WB is survivable for like a couple of hours.
