Nearly 112 Fahrenheit. It gets that hot sometimes in Fresno, California and then they open cooling stations so homeless people and other poor people don't die and you could take the bus for free if you were heading to a cooling station.
I never went to one. I stuck to shady microclimates and added Gatorade to my diet on such days.
If you are in that kind of heat, you need not just fluid but also electrolytes.
Also: Let me plug passive solar design. Even when it's hot like that outside, it doesn't have to be that hot indoors.
You just have to design it better.
- bertil 3y agoTechnology ~Connection~ Ingredients is a fantastic YouTube channel that shows how to build all sorts of useful things. Their latest video is on passive cooling and very impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNs_kNilSjk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNs_kNilSjk Warning: the “senior-engineer; knows how to make stuff” energy from that channel is off the charts. Enough to warn people on HN.

- acchow 3y agoVietnam is wildly humid tho. 112F in Fresno would feel like about 90F in Ho Chi Minh The National Weather Service actually provides a handy calculator https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_heatindex https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_heatindex
- akiselev 3y agoIf you're looking for a much cheaper alternative to gatorade, look up the "snake juice" recipe that people use for extended fasts - the kind that are weeks long. It covers all the major electrolytes. All the ingredients are available on Amazon and you can combine it with whatever flavoring you want but I just make it dilute enough to make very lightly salty water.
