Be careful in this heat people

east/gulf and west coast humidity is a world apart! i can handle the west coast humidity, but no way in he-double hockey sticks i can deal with east/gulf humidity! was at a family gathering between la and sd. we flew there and when the plane door opened............wow, what a difference between la and sd! 90 in la and 121 in sd area. i've lived pretty much all my life in the same town and still can't stand the weather here............well, the heat that is! from my experience i don't buy into the whole "if you don't pee enough, you need more water", but that's just me. others i can tell they need too. now, if i were on the east/gulf area, then oh ya, i'll need that h2o! i think it's more about the sweating than peeing when it comes to the h2o requirements. from my 48-60 hour straight work days in 90-100* (except for nights being 70-80's) i probably peed 4 times, but did drink a lot when i had time. 120 acres of alfalfa by yourself is no fun for sure!
Felt the same when they opened the 707 door at DaNang International!
 
Again….think storms coming through for next week will drop temp a bit but will be humid as heck

I’ll add , if you hate the taste of Gatorade these are an alternative. Don’t taste bad either.
Not that i don't like the taste but gatorade has gotten weaker over the last few years. guess it's there way of downsizing.
 
I grew up in Omaha Nebraska. I remember it getting up to I think 106 was the highest temperature remember in Nebraska.

People say that Omaha is humid but I moved from Omaha to Florida and oh my God Omaha knows nothing about humidity.

I think I've said this before but I remember walking off the job site in Florida (on the Gulf Coast) at lunch time and my shirt would be soaking wet from sweat because the humidity was so high that there wasn't any place for the sweat to evaporate to.

I spent some time in the Mojave Desert and I spend some time in the Sonoran desert. I remember the temperature in the Mojave hitting 113 I want to say the Sonoran was somewhere between that and 120 but it was so dry you could pee on a rock and it would evaporate before it hit the ground (that's an exaggeration but not much of one.)

Eastern Colorado (everything between the Front Range and Kansas) is really dry but it never really gets too hot I mean a hundred degrees is not as rare as it used to be but it's not common.

We have something called virga here. It rains and the rain evaporates before it hits the ground..

Virga rain.

FWIW I took this photo at the propane storage facility that I used to work at. It is looking Southwest from Colorado Springs and that cloud is actually far out on the plains.
