Here in Wisconsin we had a heat index of over 100 for about a week not even 14 days ago and today the high was 65. I broke out the sweaters and fall gear today and it was a nice change of pace
Engine room of an Iowa-class battleship. This is an oil-burning steam-powered ship. Men would stand at the burners, directly controlling them. Watches were 4 hours long. The room was a constant 140F. You wouldn't last long if you didn't stand directly under the outlet of a forced air ventilation duct. Right in the middle of the compartment within easy reach is a coffee pot.
yep. I used to work on a paving crew, you have to wear long pants & sleeves no matter how hot the weather because the mix is coming out of the truck at 300°F and you don't want any molten flecks getting on your skin. 75% of the crew has partially melted boot soles, but one of their wives just showed up with a box of joe in an insulated hot bag
20C and sunny today, possibly the best beach day of the summer around here. And the local Starbucks had a sign up, saying that yhey ran out of pumpkin spice...
