It only hit 99 up here but humidity was above 50% and no breeze. Shade helped, but any physical exertion made it hard to breathe. 101 and same humidity due for the next two days, heat index at 115+
Just calculated that heat index --> 109° with a high enough dew point that sweating doesn’t help. That high of a dew point F’n SUCKS.
I live in AZ like anon @9:41. I was working outside in the 122-121° days in ‘90. It was brutal but at least sweating DID something! 10 or so yrs ago, I was at a shoot in Green Bay in late June - 99° & 98% humidity. (heat index - 184°!) I never thought I would be glad to be back in Phx in early July. The glue that held the felt in place on my shotgun case failed!
Back when I was forging a lot, temp in the 90s, in the shed with the forge running, if the humidity was low wasn't too bad as long as drank a lot of water.
Same temp with high humidity, the shirt and shorts I was wearing would be saturated, and sweat actually dripping down my legs, and no matter how much I drank it didn't seem to help much.

ReplyDeleteHi from arizona. Would you like some french cries?
ReplyDeleteRemember, pain is weakness leaving the body.
Sounds great, just put the pan on the sidewalk and wait for the lead to melt.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I spent all of July + ten days on the Carolina shore.
ReplyDeleteThe 'low' temps chilled me but the humidity revitalized me.
Try 98 degrees F and 98 percent humidity with a strong wind. You simply have no idea.
ReplyDeleteSometimes pain isn't weakness leaving, it's just something trying to kill you
