I think you get a pass
(lemmy.world)
I live in hell (i.e., Arizona), can confirm.
Breezy weather?
This time of year, when we get a breeze it's much more like when you open the oven to check on something baking.
Not even close to this, but a couple summers ago it was like 98° F/37° C here and not dry. The humid sky was a light blue and I was a dumb pedestrian like a mile from a train station. Almost dizzy, and stumbling toward a crosswalk, I had to stop directly behind a running tour bus whose exhaust was somehow even hotter. I don’t think I stopped sweating until October. The exhaust was just hot moving fast. It was no help at all and didn’t feel any drier than the outside. Anywho, godspeed.
Thats actually a hilarious way to put it
You mean the app?
Yup
Your lack of humidity makes that semi-bearable. Try 113F in Louisiana, (south and east) Texas, or Florida.
I went backpacking in the desert areas of NM, and 95F there felt like 75F here.
Don't gatekeep
It's not gatekeeping to point out that humidity has a direct relationship with how much heat capacity the air has and negatively impacts how well your body can cool itself. Quite literally. Without sweat evaporation, people can suffer heat stroke in the mid 80's Fahrenheit.
It's why us Brits complain about 25°C (77°Freedom Units) weather. Being next to the ocean and having so much rain makes it unpleasant, and 35°C (95°F) is just hellish
You're confusing gatekeeping with one-upping.
Okay so what about now when it's 119? :-P
Where's c/cakesthatgohard?
My AC died. It won't be fixed for a few days. Pray for me.
That's a nightmare
Was it Bill Burr that made the joke about everyone being racist when it's incredibly hot out?
I haven't heard that one but that sounds like Bill Burr.
Good news for capitalism, with climate change barreling forward these won't need to be high touch custom cakes anymore. Standardized templates for more profit at scale!!!!
Of course that's sold at HEB too
Lol it's normal here where I live
It's ok to just commiserate with people. You're not gonna get a medal for having a shittier time or for being "tougher".
