I mean Maricopa county in Arizona when I last lived there was a regular 125-126 degrees during the hottest two weeks of the year. Never drops down below 100 at night. The wind slams you like a blow dryer in the face.
… I moved away in 2010
Yeah but it’s a dry heat.
Which means you can still cool off through sweat evaporation. Now when humidity is high, there’s already so much water in the air that that doesn’t happen. Your sweat doesn’t evaporate, so you don’t cool down at all. That’s deadly.
Except you can’t. The air is hot, as hot as a blow dryer. Your only reprieve is in air conditioning inside.
And I live in a humid state, I can cool down with a fan and sweat.
Yeah and it’s just going to get hotter over the coming decades.
It makes you wonder how livable that region will be
120°F is 48.8°C. Holy forking shirtballs that is hot.
