    I’m starting to thank my foresight (it was a whoopsie) when I moved to Texas for a few years for education. It was hot and humid. Worst I remember was 116°F and 100% humidity. And I had to work outdoors that afternoon. Kind of like how after hypothermia nothing seems cold, I ain’t felt hot in days.

      116 seems unbearably hot. I would add others have pointed out with the temp and humidity people cite the high numbers, but they don’t peak together, if they did, people would be dropping dead at 116 and 100 percent humidity

      106 is the hottest I’ve ever experienced, high humidity. We haven’t broken 100 degrees in years and years here,

        I had to take a lot of breaks and I probably drank 3 gallons of water that day. It was rough. July… 2010 i think if you want to look up the historical records since apparently nothing i say on here is true
