Here across the bay from Tampa... i can say it was brutal outside... i mean brutal...
When you walk outside the heat hits you like walking into a wet oven.

We have been in heat advisories all week... with a continuance of the same ahead.

 

[ARC]

Highest electric bills we have ever had last couple of months...... and that has some to do with the electric rates increasing... but AC has been churning and churning... so this is that "extra highness".

 

[ARC]

When outside... max is half an hour to 45 and i am dripping... and takes at least a half hour to cool back down.

IF you stay out in it longer... OR IN the direct sun.... 15 minutes and you are done for at least a serious cool down.

 

[ARC]

Definitely the hottest i can remember.
Sun is more intense for sure.
Maybe because i am getting older my tolerance is lower to it... not really sure... but man o man.... i am getting WAY less done outside these days due to having to stop all the time to cool.

 

[pepperj]

? ? ?

That was temp... thermometers dont measure humidity silly wabbit.

:P

Um.... our humidity is always crazy high anyway,.

Oh right I forgot your not with the rest of the world.
Still on the old British measure.
( I am so with you on that)

So we're feeling the humidity up here in the land of dog sleds.🤣

I am sure it felt like 112-115

Whimp.
I'll probably be out for 6-8 hrs again today.
😓 😰 hydrate is the 🗝
But I'll probably loose a pound a day in this heat regardless. 😒
No watering = plants not producing fruit.

Wednesday is the breaker.

"With “feels-like” temperatures soaring to 108° or higher each afternoon"

We flew from West Timor Indonesia to Sumbawa.
It was so hot and humid. Nobody was outside.
6pm the night arrived.
The world awoke, crazy place to live.
This was the hottest place we ever traveled to.
Checked in the hotel, no A/C!
Fan, large sink of water, get naked, get wet, lay in front of fan. Tried to sleep, till we repeated process.

The main industry seemed to be was mining salt from the sea.

What's Gatorade? Never had it, probably never will.
I'm trying this one out lately.

Most folks just take a good Celtic sea salt.
Most care it in their vehicles and take a pinch every so often during the day.

I'll go through 3-4 quarts of water a day.

Good morning folks. Yes, down here in Florida right now it's HOT! Drinking a lot of water and eating fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe is very good for you in the heat. I'm outside a lot and you have to pace yourself to not overdo it.

Fruit is probably one of the best things to eat in the hot weather.
The rate of my watermelon plants are growing, I'll need to protect them from frostbite. 🤣

 

[pepperj]

Going to be meeting up for a fruit exchange later after an organic ice-cream cone.
Excited about both
Yes I'll post a picture of the fruit.

Mornin all.
Should be dragging the road after the last rain but some matters to tend in a distant village first.
It's in he low 70's F. this morning. Nice. And not for long.
Time I thought about hooking up the drag yesterday it was sticky enough air to say the heck with it.
