The heat index here was 111 the other day. It approached wet bulb temps. I’m a former marine and bike 50 miles a week.

The outside in the summer will literally kill you because you can’t evaporatively cool enough from sweating. It’s a biological impossibility at that point.

When it has just rained and it is still in the high 90s, you risk death playing sports outside.

I have been to jungle warfare training, fought in deserts at 125 degrees, and sweat through 60 lbs of gear and body armor.

The summers now are lethal.
