Not just high wet bulb temperatures, but also severe disruption to fresh water and shifting rainfall pattern. What used to be consistent patterns in nature that prevented droughts might change due to the changing climate. An example of this is mountains becoming ice-free, making them stop releasing fresh water throughout the year as the ice melts.
