[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]

I see that you left out any consideration for people who have to do work outside. Some of us have to cut the grass and do other work outside for our jobs because we are not so wealthy that we have lost touch with reality. [/quote]
