"Just give you a heat stroke from physical exertion" I wonder how many lives can be saved by a someone with a powered excavator (likely diesel) digging a trench so that people can access fresh cool earth at the bottom of the trench

I'm looking at

suggesting that humans cannot effectively thermoregulate in wet bulb temperatures (Twb) above 26 to 31 °C, values considerably lower than the widely publicized theoretical threshold of 35 °C

And I'm thinking that showering or swimming in water at 31°C is considered "quite hot" and is representative of ocean water temperatures in some tropics like in Oceania.

I researched a bit further and swimmers have died racing swimming in hot water, but possibly idling in hot water might give about 1-2°C margin of survivability compared to sweating in a wetbulb heatwave on land.

However swimming pools are very often built underground in the style of an open top basement, and water often comes from wells, so I still think there's some chances of surviving with the help of water.

Now when ground temperatures rise above that lethal temperature, everyone without a heat pump is going to die.

Actually it does work because the 'lethal" wet bulb temperatures are below human body temperature, so wind and extra water do indeed bring down the skin temperature, just less effectively. Now if the wet bulb temperature rises above body temperature it's a different story and it's significantly above lethal wet bulb temperature.

I meant that I find the concept of WSL unappealing and therefore never installed it (I've been dual-booting) and instead when I use Windows I use cross-platform native executables to fulfill my needs. Another reason is I don't own the windows machines I use (they are school computers) so I can't access WSL since it's not installed or available.
