    Is it safer to stay inside without AC or go outside in shade? Isn’t the ambient air temperature still too dangerous in the shade?

    Humidity is a big factor, if humidity is low then evaporative cooling (e.g. sweating) is quite effective. Even more so in a breeze.

      Ahhh yeah good point. So somewhere like Pakistan probably has low humidity I’m guessing. Otherwise I feel like being outside at all could be extremely dangerous.
