Kinda hot (Phoenix: house, vs., shop)

[MrGuy]

So I was just in the Phoenix metro area over the weekend. And overall, not as horrible heat-wise as I would have imagined.

That said, I became overconfident after a while. At one point I went into a grocery store. When I got out I realized I could not remember where my car was. Within two minutes, life had turned into an episode of Man vs. Wild. Within three minutes, I was contemplating drinking my own urine to survive, and maybe even cool down. As I entered into delirium, I heard my car honking for me, blinking its headlight eyeballs at me as if it were a mirage. I dont recall how I got to it, but I remember being revived by some AC down the shirt.

But other than that, no problems.

Lol that's funny man! And we don't judge, most all Phoenicians have drank their own urine at least a couple times!

I’m much better at dealing with heat than cold.

Here in Texas, I hardly use the AC in the car. Helps me acclimatize.

You have it easy with the lack of humidity! Lol

This is a great point. What was most jarring was the 50 + temp difference walking inside v outside. 65 to 115, even without humidity, not cool.

Still I'll take it over landing in DWF and that blast of 80 degree, humid air hits you when you get off the plane. Gross.

I tried to do the same as you - shut down the AC, roll down the windows, and maybe even open up the heating vents to cool the engine. That was pretty hot, pretty quick!

Honestly, driving to Phoenix, when my temp hit like 105 I thought my engine was going to blow. People down here, even at 115, does not seem to bother them at all.

Props desert people

Yep. Opening a hot oven or blasting yourself in the face with a blow drier on Max are the only comparisons I can come up with.

If you’re stuck in traffic, it gets hot. If you’re moving at any constant clip, it’s not that bad:

The temp change from an indoor place to outside is jarring anywhere which features a hot summer.

Turning the heater on though? Wouldn’t do it unless the car’s telling you it’s needed. That’s just a step shy of cutting yourself!!!

Seriously though, with Raunaud syndrome, a hot climate sucks less than a snowy one.

105 is pretty mellow honestly but really 115 or 100 it really doesn't matter much does it? It's not like it stops you from doing much of anything related to office work, house chores, shopping, etc...


Here's a crazy story to me, I was up North last winter and it was 0 outside, talk about a shock going from 65 to 100, try going from 75 to 0... damn! And like Phoenix, people were rolling around just doing there thing!

It's called respiratory acidosis.

So, I am the local weirdo who loves the heat, but the last few days have got even me saying F it's HOOOOOOTTTT. 105 vs 115 definitely does make a difference! Last night we ran a couple of errands and we thought about going out to eat but I said "Nah. I want to get home and out of this heat." (I know right? Me saying that???) I still way prefer it to being cold, but getting in and out of the car yesterday when it was 115 and walking across parking lots where I could feel the heat radiating up from the pavement was a LOT. If it was only 105? We would have gone out to eat

The stickiness hasn’t helped. I don’t mind the heat per se. It can be dealt with generally, but it’s been straight gross
