bossito‘Hell on earth’: Phoenix’s extreme heatwave tests the limits of survival
md5cryptoPhoenix never should have been the cite of a major city. Whoever is there right now has to be thinking - how the hell do I get out of this hellfire?
rockerFor those of us that have been here for many years (half my life and I'm in my 40's), its not bad. Yeah, its very hot and very dangerous, but we know how to live in it and take care of ourselves for the most part. By mid-morning, all the humidity is burned off and I actually think it feels kind of nice.
I’ve been to Phoenix in July and August before. The heat is so dry that drinking a cold water actually does wonders. You can spend all day outside if you manage it well.
It’s not like it’s 85 with a humidex of 105 where drinking water just makes you feel like you’re drowning, and the sweat on your body has nowhere to go. You have no recourse but to find air conditioning.
