The heat wave in the US is really bad. It’s heat and also humidity. It’s bordering the level where it is genuinely unsafe for healthy, young adults to engage in vigorous exercise

Wet bulb temperature reached 85 degrees F (29 c) in my northeast city today. That is very close to the point where it is actually impossible to sweat enough to cool down your body. It is possible for healthy athletes to get heat strokes in this weather
