For people that aren't aware, wetbulb temps essentially measure how well you can cool yourself down by sweating. Humid air means sweating is less effective since it can't evaporate.

A wetbulb temp of 95°F (35°C) will kill someone in less than a workday if they're not given proper breaks.

A wet bulb temp of 35°C will kill a healthy person sitting still in front of a fan.

Yeah, any wetbulb above 30°C (86 °F) is potentially fatal without lots of rest breaks and water and shade and such. 35°C is unsurvivable - and not something that happens naturally on Earth.

Yet.
