Wet Bulb Temperature

An example of the threshold at which the human body is no longer able to cool itself and begins to overheat is a humidity level of 50% and a high heat of 46 °C (115 °F), as this would indicate a wet-bulb temperature of 35 °C (95 °F).
Healthy humans in the shade could perish in six hours at this wet bulb temperature.
