"They said taht they already reached 45.5 degrees and in 3 weeks, they could even reach 50 degrees.
That's not only in Thailand but all of East Asia are in danger.."

They said that it will rain a lot. I bet that it will be warm rain

Is 50 degrees something we can even endure...?

5. [+22, 0]

50 degrees... f*ck, are they crazy? Just 3 years ago, Daegu reached 39 degrees and I felt like my skin was melting. Just how hot will 50 degrees be...

At this point, aren't we just gonna burn to death?

LOL tell them to go to las vegas or arizona where it's 120-125 degree heat (50-52 celcius), they won't die just drink a lot of water and try to stay hydrated. I lived in the desert from 1993-2022 i'm still alive lol

"Desert" is the key there - it is easier to survive high temperatures in dry climates. High humidity degrades your primary natural thermal regulation - sweating - because the air is already saturated with water which makes the evaporation process go slower. Most recent research has shown that young and healthy humans can endure a wet bulb temperature (i.e. at 100% humidity) of just 31 degrees Celsius max. For example, let's take Thailand - it has an average humidity of around 70-80% in the summer, so 35-36 degrees Celsius heat would already be approaching this critical WBT, and we have 40-45 degrees predicted which would put the WBT well into the deadly zone.

Vegas is dry heat which isn't too bad. I know SE Asia adds the humidity much like SE Texas where i'm from. You can barely breathe.

Yes i know about hunidity as long as people. Keep an eye on their limits stay cool stay hydrated and get to shade the moment they start feeling weird they will be fine. Drink lots of fluids. Ive lived in dry heat and humidity perks of a military brat
