91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

literally in the danger zone unless it's super dry where you are.

    Thanks for the image, I'm definitely saving that for future use!

    Apparently we're in "extreme caution," even though it feels humid the forecast says we're around 50% humidity

    It's literally in the extreme caution zone.

    Edited to add, I'm not good at reading charts, explanation below.

    I assumed 60% RH since that's what it is on average in the heat dome currently.

    Nowhere on your chart, at any humidity, are the temperatures mentioned in OP in the danger zone. They are in the extreme caution zone.

    I believe the temperatures within the chart are "feels like" temperatures rather than absolute temperatures. The X axis shows absolute values (what would likely show on the thermostat).

    At OPs original temperature (91°F) the danger zone would be around 60-70% and higher. At OPs last updated temperature (94°F), the danger zone would be 55% or higher.

    I spent a summer in south India a few years ago during monsoon season. I was fucking miserable in my jeans and shirts until I switched over to wearing loose, flowing clothes made of bleached kahdi (loose homespun cotton) like the locals. It keeps the sun off you and even when it gets soaked it doesn't cling to your skin, and then whenever the rain stops it dries completely very quickly. Other westerners I met made fun of me for pretending to go native, but they had no clue how effective it was.
