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.

Any clime and place where I could take a gun

Hey I feel for the people up north. I used to live outside of Chicago and I distinctly remember some 100+ temp days absolutely spanking my ass. That being said, our blood adapts to our environment. I think they said it takes 3 to 6 months for your blood to change consistency based on environment. That's why people in Florida bitch when its 60 degrees out. So if people factor in how our blood changes to our environment, we can all agree that fat snowbirds on vacation at disney world suffer the worst.

ppl who complain about 90s temps even at 100% humidity are fucking cowards. You haven't lived harsh until your plastic rear view mirror literally liquifies from the heat of the sun and drips onto your dash. Harden up *****.

No matter what the ""Dr."" (nod wink) says, I'd much rather be in 115 degree dry heat than in "90s temps even at 100% humidity" due to the inability to sweat which is a major health risk, yet very uncomfortable. You see, in dry heat, you can push yourself much further and then before you know it you're very sick. In humidity, it's so uncomfortable, you stop long before you pass out.

I may not be a "Dr." but I am an industry certified first-aid provider due to severe occupational hazards, and heat or cold is not really a funny matter, indeed. Certainly, take precautions no matter the situation, as situations can quickly turn for the worse.

Maybe if you're a wee little pussbox you do. you've never passed out from heat exhaustion in humidity?

Pretty crazy standing there and then realizing youre on the ground with water being splashed on you.

Less likely to, yes, because you feel it before that point, it's miserable. I've been out hiking in 115 dry heat, number of times, it's bearable, actually kinda nice, until it's too late (if you don't hydrate enough).

watching this basement dweller preach his expertise on dry heat because he went hiking in it 3 times is making me cringe HARD

heatstroke is indeed crazy Pagan. Thought I was pretty much immune until my bike got chased up a hill by Harrison's mom's pit bull in 110 degree 90% humidity once. Probably would have been fine but I was juicing just a lil on performance enhancing stimulants. Still not 100% on whether the buzzard looking condors that took off right from where i collapsed were real or not.

3 times? I live in it. A few times hotter though, but mostly strolling through palm springs at 120+. The yearly hottest it gets right here was 117, but I usually pack it in over 115. Cringe HARD? most just call it an erection, but whatever floats your boat.

wait a minute, is this industry certified first aid provider implying i'm a "doctor" because of teh James Joyce, B.S. signature? or did I miss something?
