What did you do today to your 3/S?

[sergechronos]

Whoever told you that was lying.
I moved back to Ohio for a year, and worked outside every day removing trees from underneath 500kv transmission lines. When it was 97* and humid, I was laughing at everyone who was complaining about the heat. I was wet, but not really hot.

Picture this. The difference between 60* and 90* is the same as the difference between 90* and 120*.

115* and higher is truly a different level. Working outside in Arizona is very different. If I set a ratchet down in the sun for 2 minutes, it's impossible to hold in your hand. A breeze feels like a hair dryer. Any public business in Arizona must provide water for anyone who asks.

I paved roads in Arizona for a couple years, and have never experienced anything close to that level of heat in my life. I now consider anything under 110* a walk in the park.

Both are miserable in their own ways IMO, BUT I can't stand people who use the excuse that it's a "dry" heat to describe AZ and NV and such. The oven at 350F is a dry heat, but it's still hot as fuck.

I grew up in south Texas, moved to the Hudson Valley in NY and now live in the Tennessee Valley, and all of them suck in one way or another. High humidity makes it feel like you just can't cool off and you're soaking in sweat in minutes, no humidity and ultra high heat just feels like being in an oven out in the sunlight but the shade is generally alright. So kind of a wash IMO.

I will say, currently I work on my car in a wood shop with a metal roof, and it gets up to about 110-120 during the heat of the day AND it's humid. After I wrap up this rebuild: Never. Ever. Again. I'll burn the fucking car down before doing it like this again.

The description I give is this. At 90 and humid, the heat comes from inside, your body doesn't cool properly. At 120 and dry it surrounds you, and feels like your being burned by a heat lamp.

I lived in Vegas for 4 years. I will take 120 desert heat over 90* and 100% humidity ANY day.

It was 92 with high humidity the other day and it was fucking miserable. I used to play outside in the Vegas heat without breaking a sweat.

When you lived in Vegas, did you work outside in direct sunlight?

^This. Under 105 in PHX, tolerable. 105-110, HOT. 115+, f that. And that is air temp in the SHADE! Put that thermometer in the sun and it shoots to 135+. Then touch stand above blacktop or anything around you radiating heat at you. It's hot!

The one good thing about the heat....Mosquitos fry and other than pools, no standing water for them to breed.

I was a kid when I lived out there, but we played outside in direct sunlight every day.

Heh, I go thru hell every summer here...I deal with hot cars and sometimes we do them on site in the customers driveway, where there is no escape...but thats nothing...I also get to deal with attics in the summer too...bottom line is 150 degrees and dirty and dusty ontop of it. Every year I say that I have had enough and want to move but here I still am.

Planning on setting up shop there sometime in the next two years....so tired of extremes.

I agree, I have lived in AZ for 10 years and the heat is just different, 115 is like being cooked from the outside, and it sucks but theres ways to deal with it. But I went to Georgia on vacation one time and it was 100 degrees and 90% + humidity and just plain sucked and you cant escape, I felt like was smothering, that was the single hottest I have ever felt in my life... I would take dry heat over that any day. Our hottest day was 119 this summer, which at that extreme I just avoided the outside because you just cook. Here the perfect temp is 90-95.
