That is wet bulb globe temperature, not wet bulb temp. WBGT is calculated by adding together weighted WBT, globe temp and dry bulb temp.

Yes sorry I shouldn’t be conflating two different concepts. Wbt >35 is the fatal temperature. Wbgt black (>31-32 depending on source) is where physical activity is dangerous.
