Both. The heat raises you core temperature. The humidity causes your sweat to be unable to evaporate and pull heat away from you. I’ve been in 100% humidity but cool tempts and it’s not really an issue.

There's two things to know about high heat combined with saturation-level humidity 1) if it's too hot to live and too humid for sweat to evaporate, you will die of heat exhaustion 2) If it's hot and wet enough that saturated air cools in your lungs, water will condense there and you will drown.

The conditions for #2 above are rare (there are certain caves with 100% humidity and 130F+ temps, people who go in them must use respirators and suits to not drown) in most of nature, but the physics behind them are both predictable and serious

Pop-Pop, the Fez-Cat @toygunhitman.bsky.social

Your body has four methods for expelling waste heat (radiation, convection, evaporation, and transfer). Two of them do not work when the air is both extremely hot and extremely humid. Being in good shape does not give you a secret fifth method of expelling waste heat.

Pop-Pop, the Fez-Cat @toygunhitman.bsky.social

Yes, being in good heart health does make you more resistant to one of the ways heat can kill you; when you're hot, your body sends more blood closer to the surface of your skin, which spikes your blood pressure. It does not lower the temperature of your core when you can't expel the heat.

Ok, I know evaporation (sweating) won’t work. Is the other convection? And isn’t transfer basically “conduction”? Like “rub that cold drink across your forehead in slow motion as the water drips down your chiseled chin” (oh sorry, that’s how it is when I do that).

Yeah. Convection cooling only works if the air is cooler than you. Transfer is conduction, I just forgot the word. 😅 Put a cold thing on your neck or under your arms or at other high blood flow spots.

Evelyn Smough @ammykay.bsky.social

Basically, as far as I understand. You lose heat by sweating (evaporation), the movement of colder air/water/whatever fluid medium you're in (convection), direct contact with something colder (conduction), or simply radiating it away as infrared energy (radiation).

jun 21, 2025, 11:53 pm • 6 0 • view

Thomas Banacek @thomasbanacek.bsky.social

Technically one could argue evaporation is conduction. The sweat pulls the heat from your body to evaporate, thus cooling you down. It’s the same as when you put on rubbing alcohol. The sweating, though, is needed to get that to happen. And dogs don’t sweat so don’t work then put in this weather!

Evelyn Smough @ammykay.bsky.social

I dunno the exact physics class reason why we distinguish between all of these (well, in the case of evaporation, that specifically involves a state-change of liquid water to gas, which sucks up a lot of heat, so that'd be my guess there.)

Evelyn Smough @ammykay.bsky.social

State-changes, depending on the material and the state being changed, get a lot of bang for your buck in terms of absorbing heat for a given mass. That's why melting ice cools your drink well, whereas those soapstones they sell to chill in the freezer and drop in whiskey are really bad at it.

Evelyn Smough @ammykay.bsky.social

Radiation is basically always there, but terribly slow. Convection and conduction will cool you off fast, but in a hot environment, they're often a no-go. That leaves evaporation. If you lose that, you're in serious trouble, as far as thermoregulation.

This is, incidently, one of the real headaches in spaceship/spacesuit design - keeping equipment and humans cool. Despite the fact that space is technically "cold," vacuum is a terrific insulator and it's really hard to get rid of excess heat other than by radiating it away.

Also, shaving your dog ups its risk of developing skin cancer + its coat may never grow back in properly. It's important to keep them brushed out (because a matted coat full of densely-packed shed hair inhibits air circulation near the skin & thus prevents cooling) but SHAVING is not necessary.

No amount of physical fitness can make you safe working outside in wet-bulb temperatures. Your sweat can't evaporate, which means your body can't shed heat -- which accumulates really quickly because "wet-bulb" means that it's also hot as balls out there.

That's not what "Wet-bulb temperature" means. The Wet-bulb temperature is a measure of the temperature that can be reached by evaporative cooling (literally measuring the temperature of a wet bulb). It always exists. There's no threshhold where conditions "become a wet-bulb temperature"

Well yeah, it's the reading you get when the bulb of the thermometer is wet. Scientists are sometimes uncreative but practical.

Wet bulb is exactly what I was coming to reference! There is no level of fitness that helps when your body cannot cool itself.

Unfortunately, the means to do that involves requiring employers to provide cool places onsite for rests + time for resting when heat stress starts, fans, and either slowing down considerably or sending a lot more people because you have to account for those taking their heat breaks. Doesn't happen

I got a crash-course in worker heat safety when I was put onto a prescription with a side effect of impacting the body's ability to regulate temperature. Worker's rights - especially the right to not be placed in danger on the job - are not just human rights, they are common sense!

The Creatively Maladjusted @tyrotcm.bsky.social

Speaking as someone who has worked outdoors in 110°+ heat, this is dangerous bullshit. When I was in the best shape of my life, athletic, very low body fat, resting heart rate in the 30s, extreme heat still knocked me down. I had a 6-pack at rest, 8-pack flexed.
