Temperature in my house yesterday afternoon!

Took my iPad and sat in the shade of a tree to read a book.

The ipad stopped working about 15 minutes later - sighting over heating.

Took it back and got a Robin Hurt safari book -large one with lots of pictures.

Started leafing through it for about an hour.

Had a cold bottle of home made lemonade.

Nothing to it.

Oh, and I was bare foot.

A friend came by and I asked him to walk around the drive in the house.

Bare foot.

It is about 150 yards.

I finished the walk, he did not not.

Not even ten yards and he started screaming his feet are going to blister.

He ran onto the grass.

Still complaining!

Bloody foreigners!

He asked if I had asbestos lined feet!

Son of the desert. Give me hills in autumn, that burst of color before it snows.

I like hot weather but that is a bit extreme!

It gets plenty hot here in north Texas. That doesn't mean I like it.

Wow thats hot!

Yeah, but it’s dry heat.

Can you even eat ice cream in that temperature or do you just drink it?

Sounds like HELL to me!

Saeed,

well that is hot..

Years ago when I was working out of Needles, California, I would get up at 5AM and it would be between 100 and 105 and I needed a jacket as I was cool.

working west of there the temp usually made it into the 130 degree range while we were working. I think 135 degrees was the top that I recorded.

for me, up to 116 was warm and at 117 it became hot. just the 1 degree jump made a difference. I still remember working and it was in the 130's and with a slight breeze my skin would feel like it was burning and I needed to put on a jacket.

Also, insulated boots were the way to go over un-insulated boots. that made all the difference for my feet.

The funny thing to me is when on safari, while it’s hot and you need to be careful, I don’t find the heat terribly objectionable.

But at home, if it’s over 80F I turn on the AC and complain about the heat..

MY ranch had 110 to a few 125 days near Presidio TX and the shade was like an oven with a breeze. I can handle heat but hate extreme cold in my late years, I never went barefooted, too many rocks and thorns and my spurs didnt chime with bare feet!!

Have you applied for a new World record? Previous record was 56.7c set in 1913. That is Global warming on steroids! No wonder so many people died in Saudi during the Haj. Pretty sad for all those unofficial Egyptians who never got to complete their devotions and duty.

Like my friend Ray, I can handle heat.

But not cold!

After about 30C most Canadians begin to melt. I like it 20-25C, after that it is uncomfortable. I don't mind the cold, trapped and hunted a lot at -30C and colder.

That said I didn't find 35C to 40C too bad in Namibia as it was very low humidity. But 60C Saeed, that is brutal. Son of the desert is right!

We live in a temperate zone.

That means that when it’s cold, it’s as cold as frigid zones, and when it’s hot, it’s as hot as the tropics.

The worst of both worlds!

But give me cold over heat any day.

One can always put on more clothes, but one can only take off so much!

Saeed-

I must admit, that's hot AF!!!

I live in Arizona and this time of year, we have 110 most every day. 115-118 is pretty common. Record was 122 (IIRC). Sky Harbor International Airport was closed for a short time due to temps/airplane take off, landing speed data.

But 60C....no thanks.

Steve, I used to coach in the USA Baseball championships held there every June, for 18 years. About 7 or 8 years ago is I think when you’re referencing as Sky Harbor was closed while we were there. It was 123 degrees one day when we finished a game in Glendale on the Dodgers complex. That same day, I was driving past Sky Harbor when they closed it down and the thermometer in my pickup said 127, but that was on asphalt.

However, if you convert Saeed’s 60.2C, that 140 degrees Fahrenheit. I think the heat must have broiled his brain!

You are so kind!

And such a bad judge of people!

Assuming I HAVE brains??

Associating with Roy for so long made as intelligent as he is!

And me!

From one end of the scale to another.

Just arrived in Sweden.

Driving north in pouring rain.

Last night sleep as the rain is making such a racket on the roof of our hunt!

No wonder blondes can’t think straight!

The heat that day tripped the thermal overload protection relays for my home's air conditioning compressor. I sat in my home under a fan with a wet towel on my head for a couple hours before the system would restart.

Luckily HVAC technology has advanced since 1990 and I haven't had a repeat performance.

140° F. ? That's scary even for this desert rat!


.

I think heat affects different people differently!

A couple of years back, I was in the desert just after noon.

Stopped on top of sand dune waiting for a friend.

My car was showing the outside temperature as 45 degrees C.

There was quite a breeze.

I decided to drive down between the sand dunes, where there is no wind.

Didn’t take long before the temperature gage was up to 56!

Got out, and flew my drone.

Flew around for a while, at that location, and didn’t really feel any worse.

My friend came, stopped on top of the dune and called on the phone.

“What are you doing down there?”

“Checking the temperature. 56 now but doesn’t feel bad!”

“It is 44 here now. I will come down “

He did.

I carried flying the drone looking for sand gazelles.

Found some and spent some time videoing them.

We really didn’t feel bad at all!!

the same ...+30c is too much give me any -30 and ice fishing but not bare foot ,...lol

There are people swimming in the sea here.

I am sitting on our veranda having a coffee and reading a book - about Bering and his fateful journey.

And my feet by a heater to warm up!

I handle the dry heat better than this humidity in Kentucky. When I was in Bakersfield California, 42C (117F) with less than 20% humidity was tolerable but here in Kentucky, 32C (90F) with 80% humidity is horrible.

I much prefer 0C (32F) over 40C (104F).

You are NUTS!

Here, where I live, we can see -45 Celsius in the winter. I was complaining the other day when the temperature rose 27C.
I could never survive with temp's like you have.

NW is a place to be
We hear about global warming only from people from down south and of course on many news station
Life goes on here like a creek in the woods, bubbling along for eternity

I think that temperature of 60C is wrong. If it is actually correct, then that is Hell on earth!

We've been hanging around 110-115F day after day here in LV. Like Sadie said "It's just hot". Stay hydrated!

I think you really do get used to it although I think I tire out quicker than if it was 40 degrees cooler.

Mark

There is something I cannot understand about this.

When the temperature was showing 60 degrees C in Dubai I took an iPad and sat outside in the shade to read a book.

The iPad shut down!

I did not feel overly hot.

Now I am in Northern Sweden.

According to the weather, it never gets to 30 degrees C.

I try sitting by the jetty, in the sun, and my iPad does not shut off.

But I feel hot in the sun??

Once clouds come, I feel cold??

I followed that but the temperatures were in high 40s and an occasional 50C. Not 60c. I do not think there ever was an instance when 60oC was recorded.

Don’t take the sad reports of those dying in Mecca.

I got first hand reports from friends who were there.

Over 80% of those who died were caused by unlicensed travel agents.

The rest are normal wear and tear on people of over a million in numbers.

Going to Mecca you are supposed to book with licensed travel agents who actually send employees within each group to look after them.

From providing them with tents in certain places as well as all necessary food and drink.

Apparently some Egyptian agents were involved who were not licensed to send pilgrims, but ordinary tourists.

Also bear in mind the high number of older people going there.

You are right, Saeed.
