Melting shoes on the street. Streetlights catching on fire. Up to 170 degrees with up to 78 relative humidity.
It’s pretty crappy living in a world when you get flooded with bull shite news and can’t tell truth from lies.
I’m getting to the point of not believing anything.
We would call the heat in the sandbox, Africa Hot!!! Hated transiting through there when crewing C-141s and C-5s during the desert excursions. It got to the point where we would have to land at night and then leave, as during the day, the heat would cause interruptions with performance when we were loaded up and heavy. Then the humidity in the Asian countries was also a killer. Here in Reno, NV, we are at the century mark, and it is toasty but manageable. Just the damn smoke from CA and OR wildfires that is drifting over here is causing air quality issues, and the scenery/view is diminished. So I stay inside with my air purifier system on and the AC keeping me nice and cool...cr8crshr/BillI thought the video was funny. I've lived in some pretty nasty hot places. The worst for me was being on Port Detail in Kuwait 2003. That's what I get for being an E1 sent to war.

Yeah but it’s a dry heat.I don't think it's hot here, it IS hot here! (NOT necessarily at the moment..... but I saw 115°f in the garage at 6p.m. yesterday.)
When I first started going to Carlisle it was held in August,triple digit temps were the norm. This last weekend was one of the coolest Carlisle shows I have been to. I went every year since 1992 except for 2020.They've obviously never been to Carlisle!!
