[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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.

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

You probably walked from air conditioned box to air conditioned box right? Or sat by the pool?[/quote]

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

[b]110 is dangerous, low humidity or no. [/b]

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. [/quote]

Only if you're trying to run or hike in it.  Those are the idiots.  For normal healthy people, just being outside it's fine. [/quote]

Normal healthy people like to hike and run so this affects their life very much.[/quote]
