    Don’t forget kids once we hit 130 were gonna start dropping like flies, going outside will be dangerous, your AC bill will be astronomical and the rich people will all be fine in their bunkers!

      We hit 125s pretty regularly out here near PHX. Death Valley hit 130 already. So I guess get ready to start dropping.

        I lived in Phoenix for a while, 05-08ish. I grew up and live in Florida now. The difference really is the “dry heat” that everybody treats as the big joke. You can still sweat in 125 and dry air. 125 in humid air doesn’t let you sweat.

          Yeah someone always comes out the Woodworks from Phoenix to tell everyone how they’re babies. Once we start hitting more high wet bulb temps everyone’s fucked.

            OP said that once we hit 130s we start dropping… I was just making the point that we’ve already arrived at 130s and people are dropping…

            PHX isn’t the only place being hit right now, NYC is getting cooked, Vegas is getting cooked, the list is extensive and my point was that people already are dropping due to heat.

            Chill the fuck out, more than 9 million people are under extreme heat warning.

            Why discredit inhumane temps based on location. Dry or not, we are all getting cooked.

          Where in Florida‽ In South Florida the last couple of weeks have been awful and the Coral is dead. But the one cloudy day was manageable.

          The heat has been constant this year. We are 30 days now of over 110F, a handful of those days hit 120+.

          I’ve been here for a years now, but this year the heat is hitting different. Humidity is definitely another animal, but 120s is nothing to bat your eye at.
