> Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32&nbsp;°C (90&nbsp;°F), equivalent to a heat index of 55&nbsp;°C (131&nbsp;°F). A reading of 35&nbsp;°C (95&nbsp;°F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71&nbsp;°C (160&nbsp;°F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.

$code:
    def get_wet_bulb(Tdry, RH):
        return Tdry * math.atan(0.151977 * math.sqrt(RH + 8.313659)) + 0.00391838 * math.sqrt(RH**3) * math.atan(0.023101 * RH) - math.atan(RH - 1.676331) + math.atan(Tdry + RH) - 4.686035

Wet bulb for 110&nbsp;°F and 60% relative humidity is $get_wet_bulb(110, 60).
