Tennis Australia recommends suspending play when the «wet
bulb globe temperature», which accounts for sun, air temperature and humidity, exceeds 34 °C.
Wet
bulb globe temperature is the heat stress metric used by the International Organization for Standardization, and it has well - validated thresholds for when humans can safely work, giving it advantages over alternative metrics such as heat index, said study co-author Chao Li, a hydroclimatology scientist at the University of Victoria in Canada.
To estimate how hot conditions felt, the researchers used a metric called wet
bulb globe temperature.
The researchers also looked at the changing likelihood of «extremely warm summers,» defined as the real - world summer in each region with the highest average wet
bulb globe temperature between 1973 and 2012.
In addition, Huber criticized the researchers» decision to use monthly averages of temperature and rainfall to calculate the average wet
bulb globe temperature for the whole summer, rather than deriving wet bulb values for shorter time intervals and combining them to get a summer average.
First, Huber raised concerns about the formula Zwiers and his colleagues used to calculate wet
bulb globe temperature, both on technical grounds and because it ignored solar radiation.
For each patch, they calculated average wet
bulb globe temperature across the three months of summer, producing average summer values for each year from 1973 to 2012.
Because the range of modeled wet
bulb globe temperatures in a given time and place was narrow, even small increases quickly moved a region out of its historical range, making it easy to see the steady rise in humid warmth.
Next, the researchers projected wet
bulb globe temperatures into the future.
