Wind speed of course makes a huge difference, as well as shade (or sun).  I know they have these "feels like" Temps, but I think they are wrong.  I think 38°F in drizzle with wind can be painful versus 17°F and no wind.
Deer Hunted in both of those conditions and yes. Also attended Browns games when the same - and yes again. Rather have 17 and sun reflecting off the snow than that incinerator in Arizona

I was thinking about the guys in Iraq in summer, toting 90 pounds of gear including the "flak" and Kevlar, and weapon, and ammo, and water, and ...

I really don't see how it is possible.

Working outside in the Iowa summer heat was enough for me.

@OrangeAfroMan 


You've lived in both Florida and Arizona for a number of years, past and present.

What's worse?

A dry 115, or 93 with 80% humidity?

Well to compare temps, I put it at a 12-13 degree difference in equal "feeling."  That's a little more than the heat index generally has it.
Ex:  100 in Phx feels like 88 in Gainesville.  Heat index in FL due to humidity tends to add up to 10 degrees, not usually more than that.
The 115 AZ heat is worse for 3 reasons, though:
a - it stays hot all night....it was 98 at 11pm here the other night.  There is no relief.
b - FL has nearly daily storms that are accompanied by cool breezes and cold rain.  A reprieve.  Daily.
c - The 115+ day after day with no clouds just makes everything hot as hell - every door handle, your car, the ground.  Everything stays burning lava hot.
.
Idk, here's a morbid take on it:  people voluntarily enter saunas.  They have to be forced into ovens.

The crazy thing is that people do all the same jobs here as everywhere else.
There are roofers here.  
Guys are out repaving roads here.
.
I got in my car the other day and it said 127.  People are painting things, outdoor things.  What's the point?  
They're landscaping and lawn-mowing and all the rest.
.
You can't enjoy the outdoors.  At all.  You don't want to grill out.  Don't want to hike.  You have to do it at 6am and even then it's already hot.

But old people move to these 2 places the most!
Hell, there's a suburb here that's almost exclusively old people (Sun City)!

All the suburbs here are for old people.

Been over 3 weeks since we've had any meaningful rain, so no cooldowns lately.

No 5-20 minute deluge every day?  Weird.
