Morning fine folk:hello:
Short and sweet!
I may go bimble hunting today. If i do, i will make sure i go early as it is going to be scorchio again.
You're in trouble when it gets warm then.
Can people melt?
You can drown in your own sweat!

Once your core body temperature reaches 40°C, your organs begin to fail, and unless you get into cooler conditions immediately, you will die.

So how hot does it have to be to make your core body temperature rise to lethal levels?

A few degrees makes all the difference

Depending on a range of conditions, as measured by the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, it’s commonly thought that your skin needs to be below 35°C in order for your body to effectively dissipate the heat that it is producing.

This means that the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature must be well below 35°C: which fortunately, for the vast majority of the inhabited places on the Earth, it is.

Complicating this daytime heat extreme is a longer term factor. If the higher temperature conditions do not relent at night, resulting in a run of hot days and hot nights - also known as a heatwave - you can die.

Human skin is much more than carbon, the sugar is made of carbon but it melts well below 3550 ºC(sucrose melts at 186 ºC)

The melting point of DNA is around 60 ºC. Note that ‘melting’ in this sense is not a change of aggregate state, but simply the dissociation of the two molecules of the DNA double helix.

Southdown ram subcutaneous fat melting point is around 45 ºC. That is not for human, but let's consider the melting point of human fat even fat molecules in cells to start separating at 60 ºC.(liberal assumption)

Now By the time we reach 60-65 ºC, the cell DNA has started to disintegrate, fat has started melting, the skin cell membrane is made of a kind of fat and nucleus is composed of DNA. Even if you add 40 more degrees the water dipole attraction is not enough to bind water molecules. Everything starts to fall apart. Full chaos.


Morning!
