What do you call hot?

[Ben Lamb]

Yep, they make good desiccant packets for your suitcase'd cotton dainties...

If it's above 35% humidity, I am going commando.

It was 134 degrees when we landed in Kuwait on the way to Iraq in full battle rattle and body armor.

90 with 80% humidity is just fun

It was 134 degrees when we landed in Kuwait on the way to Iraq in full battle rattle and body armor.

It got to 139.5 in 2016, but at least there was AC.

Too many years working outside in the sun. Can't stand above 90 and humidity is brutal to me.
Heard a guy describe getting off the plane in Nam. "Like breathing yogurt". Soaking wet heat. Never went to the tropics again.

This summer has been a hot one here. 80's again today but the breeze makes it feel 70's. Shade is key. Normal high elevation NM.
90+ most of the summer and monsoons with no rain was bad. Trips to Alb. were brutal.
I retired here for the climate,altitude and humidity. 7500' NM.

I hated the early Azone heat hunting in CA. But give me some fall feelings and I'm good. A snow storm.
Give me some 40's nights and 80's with a breeze, I'm cool. 70's would be better working.
Fall in NM is great. Where I live....LOL.

Built a house in Joshua Tree , in summer. 118-125. 1980's. Bakersfield in summer was not fun either.

If it stayed from 20-60 I would in heaven. Actually if it gets into the 40's I transition from a T-shirt to adding a cut off sleeves sweatshirt.

Anything over 72 I don't much care for. Over 80 and I'm miserable. Give me 20 to 50 degrees and I'm a happy camper. I get less tolerant of it every year as well.

Over 95 and it starts getting hot to me, over 105 is terrible, humid or not. I pay more attention to the heat index, when it gets over 110 it’s time to flop on the couch. Down here it can be miserable hot just about any day of the year.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

The older you get this hot number changes No matter what part of the country you live in.

Glad others are less tolerant of the heat as they get older. Thought I was turning into a………..

When we got home from Reno in July it was 118° - it's still 100° + right now.

Well, mid-80s last weekend hunt elk was too damn hunt.....I have no problem saying that In general I find it astounding how folks "getting older" move south to hot climates. I have NEVER had a use for weather over 80 unless I was recreationally involved with water. Like many others mentioned....as I get older it gets worse. I have not found the weather cold enough to call uncle for me....love snow, and cold. Also as talked about by Cush et al......hot ain't really HOT until you are kitted and and carrying a bunch of crap with only hot water to drink. The reason I will NEVER be without an ice maker again...never.

You are. I identify as Heat Pussy.

100 degrees and high humidity, say 90 around here is about when I start bitching. When I was younger I worked outside and guess what, summer was friggin hot. Maybe that’s why I have a tolerance. That, and I how do I politely say it. Well, I am the weight I probably should be which must help at least a little.
