Advice From Uncle Mike

The current wet bulb globe temperature 
Is 93.5
A reading where the experts say 
It’s hard just to survive
Their warnings start at 82 
And end at 88
If you’re outside at 93 
It probably is too late
Avoid outside activities
Don’t work out in the sun
And if you’ve any brains at all 
Don’t stay out there for fun
Find someplace air conditioned 
While we’re saddled with this spike
Be safe, stay in, stay cool
That’s advice from Uncle Mike
