The temperature recorded in Dubai on the afternoon of 16 July 2024 is no less than the heat of hell, the temperature at Dubai International Airport was 144 degrees Fahrenheit. That means 62.44 degrees Celsius. At five in the evening it dropped to 53.9 degrees Celsius. But is this much heat good for any city and animals?
At the time this temperature was recorded, the air was also hot. The air temperature was 42 degrees Celsius. Dew point i.e. humidity was 85 percent. Therefore the temperature became 62.22 degrees Celsius. That means there is a Wet Bulb Temperature environment in Dubai. Such weather is deadly. Survival in this is very difficult.
In fact, when relative humidity meets high temperature, then heat is felt more. That means even if the temperature is 40-42 degrees
Celsius, but in such an environment it feels like 55-60 degrees Celsius. There is a deadly mixture of heat and humidity in Gulf countries.
Is. In such a situation, the human body sweats a lot. Excessive sweating can cause dehydration. There may be problem of shortness of breath.
What is wet bulb temperature, which worsens the situation?
By calculating temperature and relative humidity together, we can calculate the wet bulb temperature or heat index of a particular place. This reveals both things. Heat wave with temperature and humidity. In wet bulb temperature, the air is cooled due to the steam released from water. But at a certain pressure.

The body sweats continuously. When the temperature rises too high, only sweat protects the human body. But when the heat is high, the process of cooling of the body and the weather slows down. Due to this the human body starts deteriorating. There is a risk of heat stroke or death. The international range of wet bulb temperature is 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. death of a person if one goes above thisIf the temperature goes above this, death of the human being is almost certain.
