How hot is too hot?

[Runnin' Rebel]

Hi Eddie !!

How are you

You know how conversations just take another turn at at times !

Hope all is well down under, keep that Fosters cold . Yuk..

If my plane doesn't grounded tomorrow because of the heat I'll heading your way. With a pallet of wine

Quite few years ago, when the kids were young, we drove to Mildura for a holiday at a friend's time share.
The outside temp gauge showed 43c most of the way there and the humidity was about 80%.

I had a few Fosters that week.

Couldn't wait to get home.

I have a room for here.

Anything over 41c is a joke. It's ridiculous above that. My pool water is 33c I literally burnt my hand on the pool deck on Father's Day ( 1st degree burns ) I should've video the egg fry we had on the flagstone

If you don't like the heat, you can always move to my city...

[Andad]

That's F degrees and I am out of here....

Spent the first 18 years of my life in Aberdeem.

Happy here.

[bayerische]

It's C but about 10 cooler than normal.

[Andad]

Ah, C, that is not soooooo bad.

[bayerische]

Yes it is this time of year.

[Star Ferry]

I think the hottest I've experienced here was 35 degrees, but the real problem is the humidity

I have friends out there now. Staying at the Aria. They told me yesterday the hotel lost power. The employees said it was due to the heat.

Did you notify Guiness World Records?

Combat zone weather stations don't make it into the record books.

EDITED

Actually in this case I'm pretty sure its more like 4.75%.

Snipers got to be a big problem in Baghdad that summer. Went out on a mission in my tank near Sadre City where we set a cordon at night and remained in place most of the following day. Even before the sun came up, it was so hot in the tank that I got out and pulled security from the top of the turret with my rifle. I could put my hand over the open hatch and fell how hot it was inside. When the sun started to come up, for a moment I had to decide if I wanted to climb back inside the heat of the metal box or risk the certainty of the snipers. Honestly, it was hard to climb back in the tank and only did it after my gunner threatened to drag me back inside.
