I do a lot of work outdoors and humid 90s (FL) is a different thing from semi-humid 110s (midwest). In one, you just sweat a lot and so need to drink more fluids. In the other, you feel your blood boiling and are forced make special efforts to cool your body temp down. Here's a map of heat deaths. Note that Oklahoma, which has 1/5 the population of Florida (and far fewer older people who are most at risk for heat death), has more deaths than Florida.

hah, 3/4 of the deaths in Florida look like they died sunbathing on the beach. I'm where that big glob is, near death valley, record hottest place on the earth.

All this proves is that there's a lot of dipshits in California going out into the desert. People don't die of heat illness in FL because they're use to it.....aka they're not so fucking stupid to go work themselves to death.

How many of those deaths in CA are from endurance/survivalist/I'm gonna go walk in the desert like a dumbasses?

Nah, it's just dry heat you don't feel it so bad, so dehydration and then heatstroke sneaks up on you if unaware. Humid heat just sucks, you want to stop before you get to that point. I know that many deaths on the east coast are older people and their AC's just cant deal with it, or worse yet when blackouts happen there when everyone has their AC chugging. No, survivalists and endurance athletes know how to deal with it, part of the training. It's usually runners that drop anyway, among the healthy. Running is bad for your health as it is. This is what we have death panels for [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cold sux too. Meh half frozen slush falling out of the sky is just nasty. I've been in 30 below quite a many times, not so bad if dressed right. Frozen snot and all, dangling from my beard hah

You don't get scorched from mid 90's temp? Have you ever had to work outside in anything above 80 degrees? You get burnt to a fucking crisp. Add 70%+ humidity and you start to see people dying if they aren't constantly hydrating themselves. It's brutal. It was in the high 80's on Christmas Day. I plan on moving ASAP.

One particularly hot summer I was drinking about 2 gallons of water a day at work and still managed to get heat exhaustion a handful of times. would not recommend.

Well, scorching heat implies high temperature. You don't get scorched by mid 90s temp and mid 90s humidity. Smothering heat would be a better term for Florida summers.

Oh you are one of those guys...Don't do that. No one likes nitpicking adjectives.

Ah yes, let's just forget the meaning of words because we're lazy. The battle cry of fat, low IQ Americans.
