I remember a decade back we'd be thronging parks, spring fests, scheduling all sorts of outdoor events this time of the year.
Its been "no later than Feb" for a few years now. Thats what makes this #spring surprising - still blooming in April
Not to take away from the ongoing South-East Asian #heatwave, a 54C (130F) real feel temp is unsurvivable!

The South-East Asian #heatwave covers #Bangladesh and parts of #India as well; thankfully the rest of South Asia has escaped it for now.
The heat index hit 54C or 130F in #Bangkok!
FYI, a heat index above 37C means humans cant survive even in shade, without constant cold water sprays or air conditioning, fans alone wont do anything.
Above 50C is considered unsurvivable!

You're confusing heat index (HI) with wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT). They're strongly related, but not the same.
"Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 ยฐC (90 ยฐF), equivalent to a heat index of 55 ยฐC (130 ยฐF)." - Wikipedia
Obviously it's still a ridiculous nightmare, but accuravy is important.
