minus-squareLostXORlinkfedilink34•2 months agoThat’s insane. I was in Arizona last month in 110° heat, and going outside felt like stepping into an oven. I can’t imagine what 130° must feel like.
minus-square@BigDaddySlimlinkEnglish29•2 months agoI’ve worked in 120° heat and it’s not fun. Especially when you go back in the truck and it’s 140° and the “cooling fan” just turns the truck to a convection oven.

And the engines can’t make the power.
