No work!

I guess if your 55 you should be smarter than jogging at 85*. My opinion of course.
I could see a 20 yr old doing it.

Are you serious? 117F? That's 47°C ..

The highest temperature ever recorded in Phoenix, Arizona was
122 degrees Fahrenheit (50°C). This record was set on June 26, 1990.

But it's a dry heat....

Usually....

Now this is hot... The highest I've ever seen was a bit over 100F, and there I could not move a lot.

Here in the south of Ireland the highest temperature ever is about 25°C (77 F) and normal summer day temperatures would be around 20°C (68 F). So unfortunately I don't have an excuse not to work

Hottest temp outside I have worked was when I was in the Nam. One day it hit 120 degrees. Company commander black flagged the rest of the day and we hit the water at Red Beach with a lot of cold beer at hand.

P.s.: you should check "heat-index",

No doubt. Summer aint even fully hit yet and were baking. In a couple hours we'll get a 3 minute heavy rain then by 4pm it'll be a real feel of 115ish. August is typically terrible for us.

Actually kind of mild at the moment.....

P.s.: you should check "heat-index", did not know about that until I did a project recently that required calculation if it. Depending on temperature and humidity your body cannot cool itself down through sweating any more and collapse is inevitable if you do not slow down. Has nothing to do with being tough...

Here in the USA someone has decided that we can’t understand words like “heat index” so they started calling it “feels like temperature”. For some reason the think that wind chill was an understandable term and continued to use it in the winter! But they almost always tell us what the “feels like temperature“ is instead of the actual temperature

You can see that in post 25.

Is that also going on in Ireland or do the weather people think you are able to understand the term “heat index”?

It has gotten so bad here that now the try to explain what “feels like temperature” means!

Some around here call it " Real Feel"

Hmmm... good question. I never heard it before I did this project. I think it is not used in Ireland, it is simply always too cold for that

p.s.: just asked my wife. She never heard it either.
p.p.s: in the project we used "feel temperature" where I combined wind chill and heat index into one displayed value. This was simply to save a function and space on the display. The user manual refers to "wind chill" and "heat index". I think this function request came from Asian customer who need it and understand the term.

I don't do heat either. Or pavers for all that matter.

A desert rat in my younger half-life, I loved it.

Stupid is as stupid does.... One day about 30 or so years ago, my brother and I wanted to test our endurance, and spend a weekend in the Mojave desert.

In July.

Both of us spent time in the Marines, (my brother was still in at the time), so we were bad-asses. Even our crayons melted, so there went lunch. LOL. But seriously...

in a large tent, thermometer said 123F in the shade the first afternoon. We lasted one day before we packed the Jeep up and got out. The lizards and even a scorpion ran fast from shade to shade.

You don't want a cold beer. Definitely not. You want cold water and lots of it, and all over your body as well.

Neither of us got heat stroke or died, so it was a personal win in a stupidity contest.

Never again. I lost my love for dry heat and anything over 80 makes me stay indoors. My motto now is; Let it rain or snow.

Be well. Tractor cool.
