this summer is going to be a fuckin doozy.

Why is everyone so sure something will happen this summer? It could just be boring again like 2021 - 2024 summers
It's just a vibes-based prediction. It was a very "climate change" winter and the change is only accelerating.
two heavily populated nuclear powers gonna get devastated by climate change, it's not looking too good
That share a major river that Pakistan completely relies on and India controls the source of. It's probably one of the scariest potential flash points of conflict that almost never gets talked about, at least in the West.
Oh, a new terrifying thing I'd never been taught before, thank you for that nightmare fuel...
The first place I heard of it was this video, pretty good overview of things like this imo.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Saw some posts in the News mega-thread about hyper-patriotic politicians in India spreading conspiracy theories that China was going to invade the "Seven Sisters," possibly with the aid of Bangladesh. I would not be surprised if USA intelligence agencies would try to take advantage of the environmental catastrophe to start a proxy war against China on border territories. Hopefully they are too incompetent to pull it off.
It doesn't mention the wet bulb temperature. If that temperature is just the temperature, you can still do things to cool (wet clothes, shade, airflow), but if the wet bulb is that hot, you're screwed because it's then too humid to use anything besides phase change cooling (proper air conditioning). Either way, that is still crazy hot and it's only going to get worse over time.
i bash my head on the wall knowing a worldwide coordinated socialist project could easily save everyone.
It has to be the dry bulb temperature, because both temperatures mentioned are above body temperature and the wet bulb rising above that would be a much more catastrophic and notable thing. With the higher temperature they mention (120F) even a wet bulb in the 70s would be very dangerous. Generally if both dry and wet bulb temperatures are below body temperature one just needs to stay hydrated and avoid the sun and heavy labor since one still cools just by the ambient temperature being cooler than one's body even when sweating stops working as well because of high humidity, but when the dry bulb starts going above body temperature it can quickly become a problem because sweating is not nearly as efficient a cooling method as what the wet bulb measurement uses.

The future is just gonna be Frostpunk in reverse, isn't it?

i'd prefer the cold one. easier to get warm and retain heat. the earth gets warmer the deeper you get. you can wear layers
heat is eventually inescapable. sure you can go underground, but eventually every heat sink will fail.
and you can't take off your skin (yet)
