        This time of year, when we get a breeze it’s much more like when you open the oven to check on something baking.

          Not even close to this, but a couple summers ago it was like 98° F/37° C here and not dry. The humid sky was a light blue and I was a dumb pedestrian like a mile from a train station. Almost dizzy, and stumbling toward a crosswalk, I had to stop directly behind a running tour bus whose exhaust was somehow even hotter. I don’t think I stopped sweating until October. The exhaust was just hot moving fast. It was no help at all and didn’t feel any drier than the outside. Anywho, godspeed.

      Your lack of humidity makes that semi-bearable. Try 113F in Louisiana, (south and east) Texas, or Florida.

      I went backpacking in the desert areas of NM, and 95F there felt like 75F here.

          It’s not gatekeeping to point out that humidity has a direct relationship with how much heat capacity the air has and negatively impacts how well your body can cool itself. Quite literally. Without sweat evaporation, people can suffer heat stroke in the mid 80’s Fahrenheit.

      It’s ok to just commiserate with people. You’re not gonna get a medal for having a shittier time or for being “tougher”.

    Good news for capitalism, with climate change barreling forward these won’t need to be high touch custom cakes anymore. Standardized templates for more profit at scale!!!
