Scientists want to know how much heat and humidity is too much for the body to take.
26 more days of extreme heat in the last 12 months because of climate change.
Doctor Larry Kenny says the heat index that is used to warn the public about heat is outdated and ineffective.
He says the danger zone starts far lower at 87 and 100% humidity.
A similar scale can be tuned to the vulnerabilities of seniors, Kenny says.
He hopes to give us a better understanding of how truly damaging heat and humidity can be instead of learning the hard way.
Each level of the scale has a specific recommendation, like taking extended breaks or suspending play.
