I can remember a few summers in the desert where it would reach 130’s. And as a kid back in the early 90’s, we had the hole in the ozone too. No joke we had ozone warnings, and no outside recess cuz of it.
Plenty of summer nights were the temp never dropped below ~100f
Strangely, we often got winter temps below freezing.

I was working outside in 96F and nearly 50% humidity within the past week.
If we continue trying to work outside during the middle of the summer day, as our summers get hotter every year, people are going to start to die.
I wonder how many it will take for America to adjust. I assume a lot more than I’m comfortable with.

I was outside in 96F yesterday herding my ducks for 10 mins and my whole night was ruined because I got so sick from the heat.
Idk how people who work outside constantly do it

Box fans and Popsicles, mostly. You get used to it. Doesn’t make it any more pleasant though. I did give myself some pretty bad heat exhaustion at one point earlier this year, that hasn’t happened before.
