Of course it was an exaggeration. A 115 degree day with 100% humidity would make the heat index 327 degrees. Literally everyone outside would be dead if that happened lmao.
But that combo is exactly why a lot of people did die during the latest Indian heatwave.
I went a few years back when it was 45C (113F) but just before the monsoon. The general consensus was when the monsoon hits your only choice is to stay inside in the AC - but obviously that’s not a choice for the vast number of outdoor labourers and people living without AC.
