I've been seeing posts on twitter/X lately discussing high "wet-bulb" temperatures. A sufficiently high wet bulb temperature can be very dangerous because the body cannot properly regulate its temperature under those conditions.
The main thing I'll be looking for is mass migration out of an urban area - if significant numbers of people are still living there, I won't consider it to have been rendered uninhabitable.

3.00@KongoLandwalker not sure exactly. When I made the question it asked me if I wanted to spend a bunch of extra mana to make it a "plus" question. I'm pretty flush right now after the pivot so I figured I'd try it out lol
Temporarily or permanently? Would it be enough to get a wet bulp temperature for a day that's too high for humans to survive outdoors or does it happen regularly though that all humans leave the area?
@Enlil Good question. The main thing I'll be looking at is mass migration out of an urban area. If there's like one day a year everyone has to stay inside or something but people keep living there, I won't count that as being uninhabitable.
@TomGoldthwait Thanks for clarifying. I think people are very good at denying reality for a long time if the alternative is uprooting their life.
