It is now cooling off from 115F or 46C and it is now 109F or 43C at 8PM or 2000 hours with 13% humidity.
I have a question: When it is that hot can you go outside for very long? Surely the heat is going to be unpleasant after short time.
20C /60F today here.
At present at 4AM or 0400 hours it is 96F or 35C with a high of 115F or 45C. Go outside for long ? IF your job requires it, like construction, you hydrate A LOT but most construction is done at night because it isn't just the outside temperature but the sun's radiant power which is troubling. The aboriginal people of the area, the Paiutes, used to move their belongings in the summer up to the mountains where it is about 30F or so cooler. Mt Charleston for example, is 12,400 feet high or 4100 meters high and in Summer there is no snow so you move there. In the Winter, you dragged your stuff down to the Las Vegas valley where it isn't freezing so much like the mountains. A semi-nomadic lifestyle. Modern people though have Air Conditioning whose mass use after World War 2 transformed the area. In 1950 there were only 50,000 people in the valley. In 2020 there were 2.2 Million. Do I go outside much ? Nope, it's too fucking hot outside. I use my air conditioned car to get groceries or other services but as far as being a pedestrian, never. Besides, Las Vegas is physically larger than London, even though a lot less people live here, so you don't walk far. Part of the good ol' American urban sprawl. Anyways, don't want to be bore you anymore.
