Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

I know, right? It's all what you're used to, though. I think 110 is pretty common for there this time of year. I'm wondering...once it's that scorching, does 122 really feel that much different?

The predicted high temp for Phoenix today is 122. Yes, 3 digits! Their low temp is 90. Can you imagine!? They expect power outages because everyone will be running AC nonstop.

but in phoenix its a dry heat?
i think around here when we see 90+ it tends to be also like 80+% humidity
lol

Ugh - yeah, brownout risks due to temps in all the hot areas...

Um, LOW? As in night time temp??

Does AC even help any at 122°F?

Can you go outside in that weather and still breathe?

The rule of thumb we've been told around here is that AC can only get the usual house about 20 degrees below the outside temp. Passive solar design becomes very important. (Fancy term for situating your house in the shade, etc.)

I'm used to hot, but once it gets above about 102, I feel like I'm walking into an oven if I have to transition from AC to outside.

I've been in those temps before on a trip to Yuma, AZ. No, it doesn't feel that different, which is SUPER dangerous.

Common!?

Phoenix is use to this stuff. I was going to go there for a scrabble tournament years ago. I backed out, the forecast was for 120 degree highs.

I was also told the dry myth. My thought was " I don't give a poop dry or not"...

This is not a modern day (global warming myth) thing. Look at the historical highs for Phoenix.

This supports the Ralphie Theory #297.

A Ralphie theory has never been proven wrong in all of history.

The theory is simply and lengthy for accuracy:

There is a narrow band of the Earth fit to inhabit. Everything north of the 49th parallel is still wilderness and uncivilized. While the conditions might be suitable for mankind to thrive there, it has not happened yet... This area is known as the Vast wastelands of the south.

Everything South of what was once known as the Mason Dixon line is not worth attempting to civilize. There are claims of pockets of civilized people down there, be these are most likely wild claims but person drunk or high on opium. We do know certain outlaw types try to live there, but it is a harsh existence and those "hominoids" are more beast than human..

It is also assumed there is a similar region of inhabitation on roughly the same parallels south of the equator, but again that is theory and not proven....

" I don't give a poop dry or not"...

Hear, hear. 122 is 122.

 

[duluthralphie]

Hear, hear. 122 is 122.

I am so glad to see you agree with the Ralphie theories!

I am so glad to see you agree with the Ralphie theories!

I don't agree with the 49th parallel part, but the rest sounds okay

Scrabble tournament! That is hilarious! You are a man of many words

Right now I am less concerned about the heat and more concerned about ants. Not fire ants thank goodness but ants everwhere here. We have had a lot of rain so they come out of the ground and are IN TO EVERYTHING!
