There is no relation between the radiation flows exchanged by surface and air (whose net balance is about zero) and the radiation from the top of the air lost to the cosmos some kilometres above the surface; the cooling of the «top of the air» at mid and high latitudes is compensated by advection of
humid air from mid latitudes.
It's far from a complete picture of the cyclonic processes because one has to take into account that there are changes in energy due to altitude and that the system is open; able to draw in e.g. less -
humid air from around the storm, leading to further surface evaporation.
As the air rises, it expands and cools, and water vapour condenses, releasing even more heat,» much like how a hurricane frees energy by drawing warm
humid air from its base (usually tropical sea water) and then releasing cold, wet air 7 miles (12 kilometers) up in the troposphere.
Oklahoma is a magnet for tornadoes because it's right at the convergence point where
humid air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cooler air from the high terrain of Mexico and the Rocky Mountains.

In mechanically cooled buildings in hot -

Humans can overheat if core body temperatures much above 98.6 ° F (37 ° C) are sustained.16 Normally, when skin temperatures is somewhat cooler than 98.6 ° F (37 ° C), the body loses its metabolically generated heat by conducting that heat outward
from the core.7 Extremely hot and
humid conditions, however, can make it difficult to keep this heat balance maintained.16 Extreme heat can be particularly dangerous to old, young, or frail people; to those suffering
from cardiovascular, respiratory, or diabetic disease; and to lower - income people who do not have well - insulated homes or
air - conditioning.17, 18

All that is needed is to add heat carried upwards past the denser atmosphere (and most CO2) by convection and the latent heat
from water changing state (the majority of heat transport to the tropopause), the albedo effects of clouds, the inability of long wave «downwelling» (the blue balls) to warm water that makes up 2 / 3rds of the Earth's surface, and that due to huge differences in enthalpy dry
air takes far less energy to warm than
humid air so temperature is not a measure of atmospheric heat content.
