Better hot weather tolerance when on GLP's??

The breezes here are like a hot dryer, haha.

My heat tolerance has gotten better, but I am also more active than I used to be.

Where you live yes. Where I live, the breeze feels like moist air, likely because it is with our humidity.

Living on the gulf coast, I am used to crazy heat and humidity; but we are also prepared for it.
I have a total of 7 ton AC (2 units 5 and 2) much of the issues are in areas that don't even have central air, which would be unbearable here.

Wet bulb really gives the bigger picture as well, and the east coast and northern parts of the continent are suffering pretty bad this summer.

Toronto has it almost as bad as the gulf coast right now.

In what world temps over 80ºF "Burning Fire Red-Orange"?? Go back 20 years and 80ºF was green and blue. Temps over 100ºF were red. For khrist's sake the human body is nearly 99ºF

That is the wet bulb temp
The wet bulb temperature danger zone generally begins around 26°C to 30°C (79°F to 86°F), where the body struggles to cool itself. At a wet-bulb threshold of 35°C (95°F) at 100% humidity, human survival without artificial cooling is biologically impossible for more than a few hours

People should know that 95F and 100% humidity is theoretically possible to achieve, but exceptionally rare. In fact it is unsustainable in open atmosphere. As a pilot, I regularly make the silly comment that it's 93F outside and 100% humidity. Of course it's not, but I do say it.

But you are 100% correct, wet bulb temperatures approaching this are beyond dangerous.

Typically here in South Florida when we see 93F, we see humidity in the 70% range. With higher fleeting peaks.

FYI France and Paraguay played their World Cup match today for 2 hours in Philadelphia at 37° c temperature.

I'm amazed nobody dropped dead
