It gets up to 122 in the shade here in the Phoenix area. I've even worked as a sparky around open hearth furnaces in a steel mill. Just drink lots of water, keep as much skin covered as possible and you'll be OK. That being said, complaining about the heat is as popular as complaining about how little we are paid for what we do!
about the hottest i ever was, was wiring the ovens for
snyders of hanover pretzel factory in goodyear, az.
they were proofing the ovens, which had 4" gas feeds
to them, and it was hotter outside than next to the ovens.
"but it's a dry heat".
not during the six weeks of monsoon it isn't... :happyno::happyno::happyno:
what works for me when it's that fugly hot, is a straw hat with a sponge
in the top of it.... get it wet, and it cools the head down, and that gets
25% of the blood flow from the heart. squirt water on it from the cooler
as necessary.
same with cooling the cartoid arteries. the easiest way to get to all that hot
blooded blood. cool the neck.
