only needs to be 25.8C for a health younger person, or 21.9C for an elderly person

That's disturbingly low

It’s also at 100% humidity in case that wasn’t clear.

Edit: ok so what he posted wasn’t wrong but the study said that it could be as low as that for some groups of people. For the average person it’s almost 10 degrees C higher which is lower than it used to be.

However for heat sensitive people (not sure what that means) it can be disturbingly low

So it’s more like ~35C, but it used to be 40? Is that because of constant heat exposure? Like, is my heat tolerance better in the winter?

[-] admin@lemmy.haley.io 6 points 2 months ago

It seems like it used to be 35° but now it’s ~34°.

I don’t have access to the actually study but I would hypothesize that it’s likely because we are seeing more studies about things like this and as we collect more data that’s changing these values to be closer to what we see in the real world.

Meaning you can kill elderly people if you set up air humidifier everywhere 😮🤔 even at normal 22C

can we get these temperatures in freedom degrees?

Depends on which articulation, but I'd say at most 6

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

25.8, 21.9

Divide by 5, multiply by 9, and add 32.

roughly 78.5 and 71.5
