    I’ve seen the term misused a lot recently, so I’ll state that a wet-bulb is a part of a measurement instrument. Wet-bulb temperature is a measured quantity (along with dry-bulb temperature, pressure etc.) and an Extreme wet-bulb temperature event is what actually kills people.

    Global warming means thing will be getting worse. Of course it might be nice and cool for a bit, but slowly, these will get more common and much worse. For context, average global temperatures during an ice age are around 4° C colder than 1961-1997 average, and we are quicly going to supass 1° above.

    We got our first heat advisory of the year today. We spent the last 4th of July with a broken AC. This one was much more pleasant.
