Short summary
Considering air temperature as a direct predictor of heat stress is misleading as physiological consequences from heat depend on tissue temperatures. This study helps to clarify more fundamentally when and how heat waves may lead to plant stress by demonstrating how several environmental variables contribute to tissue temperatures. This renders it easier for ecologists and agronomists to predict when the dangers of heat stress occurring are highest.
