I just got back from Vegas where it was 110 every day. This is much worse

[Anonymous]

I know it's a Captain Obvious statement but damn! Weather in the DMV is significantly worse than the hottest desert weather. I thought something was wrong with me because of how badly I sweat in the summers here. Vegas was scorching hot but I wasn't a soggy mess, even walking around. Here. I can't even walk from my house to the car without becoming drenched.

Instant boob sweat. I can't deal with it.

Florida on the coast is glorious, but they don’t like Libs.

No it’s not glorious

It’s muggy and buggy

Op learned about humidity and evaporation, kinda.

It's a dry heat in Vegas. It's a swampy heat here.

100 in the shade is tolerable with 10% humidity. 100 with 80% humidity is a whole different ballgame. Swamp city.

Sandals and very little clothes are the only way to deal with this type of heat.

It's dew point not heat that's the issue. Once your body can no longer evaporate sweat to cool yourself there is a problem.

You weren’t sweating but you were overheating. You were literally being baked and staying out at 110 is very dangerous.

You probably walked from air conditioned box to air conditioned box right? Or sat by the pool?

Florida is lovely Oct-Mar, but how? Literally he11 on earth. And that’s before considering politics.

Not really. People quickly acclimate if done right. Unless someone has some major health issues, heat is no big deal.

You know you’re still sweating though, right?
Be sure to drink a lot of water

110 is dangerous, low humidity or no.

And it’s much harder to get that high with high humidity because it is a much heavier air mass and requires a ton more energy to heat the air and moisture.

Dangerous for those who are not healthy. Fine for everyone else.

Nobody is trying to heat hot humid air either.
