Ah, heat exhaustion is when the body struggles but can still cool itself, while heat stroke is when it fails—a medical emergency. Wet-bulb temperature measures how well evaporation can cool us, combining heat and humidity. Official numbers are wrong because many deaths are recorded as pre-existing conditions, like heart issues, not the heat that triggered them.
I know this from our factory workers; they get dizzy in the sheds and we call it "weakness," never writing "heat" on any form. My own AC car makes it easy to forget how close that danger really is.
