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."

Used to have an evaporative vest, hat, and bandana. Only way to keep cool on the jobsites. They now have vests you freeze before wearing. Still have the 3 foot breeze box in the shed.

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

jus sayen

Go down this road every year working on boats.. getting worse as i get older.

have tan on my upper back sun going through my shirt.. i wear 70 spf all day apply several times and that stuff burns in your eyes when you sweat.. the spray ones are better on those hot muugy days they do not run as much.

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.

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

 

Oh Boy is it hot

Never been this hot before

Tarzan needs a break

Zeke, are you in some kind of contest with AVB to see who can be most confidently wrong all the time?

 

Freaking air was so hot in the sun it'd burn your windpipe.

It's Africa hot

Brooklyn doesn't get this hot 

Too hot for Tarzan

 

5-7-5 Zeke

Zeke likes to taunt us

He is a thought arsonist

But entertaining

 

Couple grown ass men

Busy counting on fingers

However it's fun

 

 

Our 18 acres is loving it.

Sublimation is when you go from a solid to a gas.
 

So Zeke sublimates when he posts here. His BS turns into hot air.

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.
