    It doesn’t mention the wet bulb temperature. If that temperature is just the temperature, you can still do things to cool (wet clothes, shade, airflow), but if the wet bulb is that hot, you’re screwed because it’s then too humid to use anything besides phase change cooling (proper air conditioning). Either way, that is still crazy hot and it’s only going to get worse over time.
