This Weather App Will Tell You If Going Outside Will Kill You - Gizmodo

Wet bulb temperature is a metric that combines measurements of temperature, humidity, heat radiation, and wind in a complicated equation to determine what conditions our bodies can withstand.

Brian Mueller, the developer of Carrot Weather, was inspired to add a wet bulb reading to the app after reading a recent viral Twitter thread on the phenomenon.

By giving app users the wet bulb temperature, Carrot can provide a real warning about how safe it is to be outside for prolonged periods and also clue users into how the climate crisis is already altering the weather in dangerous and possibly deadly ways.
