Help me! I'm melting!

Out of morbid curiosity, I decided one day to write a little computer program that calculated the humidex according to this formula here. (The formula is a pain in the ass to do by hand, you see.) This results in me having waaaaaaaay too much information about just how unpleasant the weather in Wuhan is on any given day.

According to the weather report I have, the current temperature is 35°C and the dew point is 28°C. So, plugging this into my little utility:

$ humidex 35 28
50.90470549019746

I get confirmation that I am, indeed, living somewhere in Bolgia Eight.

Humidex of 51?!?! Come on! Why not just set me on fire, dammit!?
