The “wet bulb” threat is real. Very disappointing that this video did not a make a direct reference to the “Wet Bulb” term as it is most commonly called. Ignorance of this issue is a huge problem. If at some point a atmospheric river system is followed by a heat dome... the regional consequences could be catastrophic. With infrastructure issues multiplying the issues... as the power outages from flooding combined with rolling brown outs due to the potential spike in energy demands with extreme temperatures and humidity... People would require information in advance of such situations in order to be prepared. Simple items like chemical “cold packs” and ice cubes in zipped bags held in peoples hands could provide life saving emergency cooling systems. Battery powered ice makers could make a tremendous difference between life and death with a little knowledge and forewarning. In certain situations the mass demand from the public using air conditioning systems could facilitate a failure of the power grid... This type emergency situation requires a public safety plan and eventually a system similar to the public emergency systems for Tsunamis, earthquakes and so on... Emergency services and emergency service personnel would need additional information and preparation for such a emergency situation. Local micro climate systems are likely to be early indicators of this dangerous situation. Even the early morning sun of that apartment building is a micro climate system showing the emerging threat and the growing threat. The atmosphere is holding considerably more water vapor today than just forty years ago... This is a threat emerging in real time faster than the awareness of the situation is spreading.

It's when the water vapor in some humid, hot areas has little chance to expand a long distance because outside the temp is even higher and the air is drier, that we feel the stress. The outside heat enter the areas, while increased moisture stay put there, due to the rule of least resistance. Dry air doesn't let heat travel so easy compared to humid air. The global relative humidity over land has decreased for decades now. So when it's hot now that extreme is worse, and when it's cool that extreme is also worse. We must let more trees/bushes transpire in the areas - that will create wind - like in the Amazonas untill recently. Too much moisture will be divided along fog, wind and percipitation over land and into the air above the seas, to travel further... a good domino effect if other areas are involved!
