Heatwaves loom as a growing threat to humanity in a warming climate. This summer alone, in the northern hemisphere, thousands have died during extreme heat events. It's driving researchers to find out more about the point when heat turns deadly.
“For the first time, humans were subjected to a deadly combination of heat and humidity.”
The article is about the first formalized test measuring the relationship between heat and humidity on thermal management in the body, mostly using a single fit thirty year old male. It’s not about how the first human subjected to wet bulb conditions handled them, but about an improved understanding of the relationship of heat and humidity on thermal management of humans.
The headline here has no mention of wet bulb?

Wet bulb is an effect thats based on heat and humidity. Which part is confusing you? /g
The part where the headline is supposedly about the first time humans have experienced it?
The content is fine… the formatting and headline are atrocious.
