Today's Weather

Recommended Posts

Hottest day of my life was probably 25 years ago.  100°, no shade, 100% humidity, I was working on a roof top AC unit.  The black roof deck was 160°.  I tore up a towel in my truck to wear it as a head band just to keep the sweat out of my eyes because I couldn't see. The salt from the sweat was stinging my eyes.   I really felt like I was working under a broiler.  The sun was relentless.  I was having a hard time figuring out the problem because it was just too hot to think clearly.

I get the AC fixed and head downstairs to tell the secretary that it's working.  Her office was part of the building I was working on so her office had gotten up to about 80°.  They had the lights off, pulled the shades down and were all sitting very still at their desks.

She says "thank G-d, it's unbearable in here."

It actually is though, lol, the cooling effect of perspiration is not very effective sublimating in saturated air.

jus sayen

Perspiration's cooling effect is due to evaporation. Sublimation is when you go from a solid to a gas.

I'm not sure why but I had the bright idea of taking my step kids to the Bronx zoo on Tuesday. Surprisingly we all managed the heat very well and they didn't really complain about it. It was like being in a convection oven all day.

Boy it's hot.

This is hot.

It never got this hot in Brooklyn.

It's like Africa hot.

Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot.

There's a haiku in there. Almost got the phrasing. 

 

Oh Boy is it hot

Never been this hot before

Tarzan needs a break

10x will agree with me

Sorry, HE has it right.  Evaporation is liquid to gas, sublimation is solid to gas.  Like when dry ice disappears without first melting into a liquid.
