I just read about wet bulb temperatures in tropical regions of the world during this hot period and I learned something a wet bulb temperature is a phenomenon where the temperature is high and the humidity is also high which means when we sweat our bodies cannot cool because sweat cools us when our bodies overheat.

So that means that the moisture content in the air is high so when we sweat our sweat cannot cool us down so you sweat more and dehydrate faster and that can lead to kidney failure heatwaves like this do not kill immediately protracted nighttime stretches of 35°C can cause several health problems

Dry heat like in harmattan periods are different because the moisture content in the air is low meaning your body sweats and cools easier and faster than wet bulb temperatures

The current heat in naija is around 35°C and humidity is high and to be honest sleeping feels like being cooked in hot steam

My fellow nairalanders I bring you this info as I am here thinking of sleeping on the roof please does anyone know if mosquitoes can fly to the roof of a 5 storey building

Global warming? Why don't we ever experience clement whether all year round? I mean the hardship alone is enough torture. Nature should not add to it again biko. Na now NEPA madness come increase. They just throw the whole community into darkness. As in.. every where is pitch dark.

We experience climate change all year harmattan did not come last year but early this year we did not have August break both last year and 2022
If we had steady electrity it would have been better and there is a research project that talks about every 1'celcius increase in temperature leads to 8% decrease in food production especially wheat
When this global warming start main main Africa population go drop
We keep adapting to economy and weather till we can no longer that is when people will die and our government is playing with our future and lives

THEY CAN BY PERCHING FROM ONE FLOOR TO THE OTHER

The dry heat we experienced last month/earlier this month is 100% better than this stifling humid heat we're currently experiencing. No matter how much you keep yourself hydrated, you're drained after some time.

I have been scouting for a topic like this on nairaland that acknowledges the deadly heat wave experienced yesterday and that has continued till today. It was terrible (first of its kind in Nigeria). The epileptic power supply worsens the situation. Yesterday was a sign that global temperatures have risen drastically.
