the wet-bulb temperature, about 35 degrees Celsius, above which the human body can no longer shed metabolic heat, setting a physiological limit on habitability under warming.

In climate science, wet-bulb temperature threshold refers to the wet-bulb temperature, about 35 degrees Celsius, above which the human body can no longer shed metabolic heat, setting a physiological limit on habitability under warming. This meaning comes from Sherwood (2010) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
