worked for Alcoa aluminum for ten years. On the pot line, as they called it, where the aluminum was made from scratch, it would get up over 160° on days like this. That's actual air temp

I worked as an operator at a couple Nuclear Power Plants in Florida and on occasion had to make at power entries in the 145 degree reactor containment building wearing triple layers of protective clothing and a respirator.         :confusion-confused:           You know what;  the memory of that doesn't make it seem a bit cooler on these hot humid days!        :occasion-snowman:

Saturday here was 89 with a peak of 74% humidity. Reminded me of Okinawa, which experiences weather like that for about 8-9 months of the year. I only had to walk 450ft from the front door of my barracks to the front door of my office, and I had to keep a set of utilities at work so I wouldn’t stink when dealing with servicemembers. 

 

The humidity makes all the difference. The only thing I dreaded about Afghanistan was the heat, but even though it was triple digits the entire time I was there, the heat didn’t follow you to the shade simply because there was zero humidity. When it’s 125 in the sun and 90 under a 3ft thick concrete slab, 90 isn’t so bad 😂

  Low 20c's 70'sf. here today. Strong warm wind and rather humid. Supposed to be getting hotter as the week goes by, due to hot air from Africa working it's way north. Now is when I envy you lads with aircon'.

I've been in Co Springs for the last week, 105 degrees, no humidity. If I hadn't had elevation sickness almost the whole time I would think about moving there.

 

The elevation was rough on me though. Day one: You are still dizzy at 6K feet? Cool, lets go up to Pike's Peak, that's only 14K, you will only feel like you are dying. Day 5: You are almost mostly adjusted to 6K? SURPRISE, we are doing brunch with your brother in law's parents, they live above 8500 ft. What, not hungry because of the surprise elevation change? Here is this extremely British guy doing British things in the most British way possible.

You think lawn tractors are hard to bring home and hide without the wife noticing, try doing it with cars.

Turn all those fans on at once and sit in front of them. It will be like riding a motorcycle without the bugs in your teeth.
