Yeah, some of my favorite stories about heat were when I was a kid in Central Kansas. If the humidity was low and a good breeze was going, temps even up to 105 deg. F were not so bad to be in, so long as one had plenty to drink. If one (or vulnerable plants or whatever) didn’t, one “parched” rather quickly though...
In Kansas, we usually had a good breeze going.
Anyway, I did a search, and the heat index does not factor in direct sunlight (shade is assumed, of course), or cooling from wind. So, we are right about the latter.
NWS is now saying we will get a several day wet & warm period starting in a couple days. Hopefully cloud coverage will be intermittent, so everything does not mold or rust.
We’re in CNY for a bit on vacation, and the heat is supposed to break today. Currently the local station is reporting low 90’s.
Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 70!!!
