North Carolina here. It's not our temperature that kills us, it's the damn humidity. And it only gets worse the further south you go. Ugh.

I notice a huge difference when the humidity drops below 50%. 100 degrees low humidity feels like 80 in Texas. Upper 90's in both is just plain miserable. We only had like 3 days below freezing this year, going to be a long summer.

10% humidity today, so ****ing 125 only felt like 121 LOL
It's definitely hot but anything over 110 is just the same to me. It's miserable. While I enjoy living in Arizona for a handful of reasons, the "3 months of misery" and "beautiful the rest of the year" is complete BS. It's effing hotter than hell here from April thru the end of September. The only good thing about it is that we can drive 2 hours north and be in temps 30 degrees cooler.

How the **** do some of you drive terminators!

Weather either to high or too low?

Do the 100-120 places posted have terrible humidity? or is it a dry heat.
We'll have terrible humidity toward the end of summer when the Monsoons hit. I have friends in the South and we often match their humidity during the Monsoon months.

Right now it's bone dry which the rest of the country scoffs at but is just as miserable as it is dangerous. The rescue helicopters have been doing double time over the mountain hiking trails due to the "the heat index is worse tourists" not quite grasping the severity of the heat. I've lived in the Midwest and the humidity has nothing on raw temps IMO but everyone seems to be different.

FWIW, the airport has been grounding flights this week because it's so hot certain airliners can't generate enough lift to fly.

You definitely can't ignore high temps just because its "dry." Usually by the time you realized you made a mistake, its far too late.

Nope. I had two teammates went for a hike a few summers ago and got lost on the trail. They weren't off trail long (maybe an hour or two) and their dog died and one of them had to be airlifted out and almost died himself. The heat out here is no joke.

They're grounding them because their performance charts don't account for temperatures that high, because nobody paid for the testing to be done in such extreme conditions. Regulations prevent pilots and airlines from extending the data through extrapolation, so if it's not on the chart, it's not technically an operable condition even if the plane is fully capable of safe operation.

Are you in the correct thread, or did that go over my head making fun of the cobros?

I hope you don't use the same strategy when you're using your oven.

It probably seems the same, but (though im sure you were being fasiciois) it'll kill you quicker.

Working outside for only a few years I've come to realize the first week of super cold and super hot suck...after that it's just kind of a pain in the butt, but not facebook status worthy.

Roofers and asphalt people..they're the real summer heroes. F that.
