    @ai6yr @BakerRL75 gack... and it's only March. i spent one summer working in PHX when there were 21 days in July over 100F/37C, many over 120F/48C. wouldn't even go below 100F/37C until 3am for a few hours. but that was July, not March. insane...

    @ai6yr @BakerRL75 Venues need to make misting tents and shaded spaces for people to rest standard. EDIT: I've been to Renn Faires that became "wet chemise" exhibitions.

    @ai6yr @BakerRL75 Wow. They're really going to need to start cancelling events like airshows when the temperature is over 95°F or so; between the sun, lack of shade, asphalt, etc, that's a really dangerous event to have in that kind of heat.

    @ai6yr @BakerRL75 ugh, thanks for the ptsd Airshow 2024 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 Highest temperature recorded was 127.4º out on the tarmac at 1600hrs on Saturday July 13th 2024 (outside of MedTent1) Highest in tent temperature recorded was 105º at 1600hrs on Saturday July 13th 2024 (MedTent1) we run 2 med tents (out of the 3 med tents available) at the Airshow. That day we had 24 medical contacts. Thirteen of those heat related. seems like nothing compared to that Arizona event....

  • @ai6yr @BakerRL75 Lived there for 16 years. There were years when the rainy season was late and Quarter 2 temps were like July and August. Rainy season was late again last year. So this doesn't surprise me one bit. Glad I bailed form there recently.
