    Jesus Christ, 158 F heat index is so far out of bounds on that scale it's insane. What's after "Extreme Danger"? "People will die"? "Being outside is suicide"?

    A [wet-bulb temperature] reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.
