Yes I agree, It has. It's like the second great depression they talk about, it's here, it's just not equally distributed. I wonder if it felt like that back in the 1930's for the people who still had lots of money or good jobs.
Was it humid too? Humidity and heat are the worst combination. I worked outdoors all my life and those hot days can be bad but coupled with humidity it is a tools down job. Twice last year, our hottest year on record down here, I had to knockoff at around 9am in the morning. The sweat just wouldn't evaporate off me and I heated up and up. Drinking lots of water then is pointless, just made me feel sick.
Just do not forget to get enough salts when you drink. Getting sick is a sign of losing too much water and also of getting too much water and washing all the salts from your body by sweating/perspiring... sometimes you need to pour the water over your body to cool down. Another problem is drinking tooooo coold of anything, your body has to heat the cold beer/water/tea and starts producing more body heat to do so. Even if it is not soo tasteful, drinking warmer liquids does help to cool down...Gary
yes, if my memory serves me right,humidity was around 90, didn't like it and seawater was 80F, way too warm to cool you off properly.
I'm getting hydrated right now. With an ice cold bottle of Corona.
I hate when that happens. I remember once I was with friends in the Queensland coastal town of hervey bay. Fraser island, the largest sand island in the world lies about 12 miles offshore but the waters between are very shallow. It was during a heatwave and we went down for a swim to cool off. There were a lot of people on the beach but no one in the water, we found out why as soon as we went in. It was like stepping into a hot bath.
80 degrees is too warm for you? Lol, that’s just getting where I’m not shivering! Yes, I’m a true southerner
Any weather changes are bad for farmers and ultimately bad for consumers prices. You know how the majority here have been learning to prep for tough times? We’re heading into them now I believe.
That’s got to be tough for limies! i used to see the brits on vacation at disney in the summertime in Florida. They were sunburned and dying in the heat. Never thought you would see that back at home. Looks like most of the world is having tough weather
