Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is hiring extra medics, loading up on water bottles and allowing supporters to carry umbrellas to an outdoor rally in Las Vegas.
Id rather stand somewhere cold all day than somewhere hot. You can always add more layers for heat, but you can only take off so much to cool off before you get arrested lol
I’m the opposite, heat sucks but at least it isn’t straight up painful like single digit/subzero temps can be. That being said, I remember being in Kuwait when it was around 130°F out and it was absolutely miserable. I was in the Army and had to stop through their on my way to R&R and the 3 days I was there waiting for my flight were horrible. All the transient areas were just tents, and the portable AC units they had hooked up to them couldn’t keep up and the temps during the day never got below ~90°F.
I was gonna say “Clearly you’ve never been in the desert!” but then you mentioned playing in the sandbox and I get that.
That said, even in Texas, a good 90% of the summer is “Going outside will sting, staying outside will burn in a matter of moments” weather. I’ve had those 110°+ days and those “So far below zero the LCDs in your car freeze” days of Upstate NY during a lake effect blizzard and all I can say is, both suck.
That said, I prefer the cold. This is coming from a prior cold weather injury as well but I fall back on “No bad weather, just bad gear.”

Tbf, it might be difficult to find layers when you’re stranded.
