    How hot is too hot.

    I like it hot honestly. How hot is too hot is interesting.

    "The human body is built to operate at a core temperature of about 37C degrees. We become more light-headed and prone to fainting as the core rises closer to 40C.High core temperatures damage our body's tissues, such as heart muscle and the brain. Eventually this becomes deadly.


    "Once the core temperature rises to around about 41-42 degrees centigrade we start to see really, really significant problems and if not treated the individual will actually die as a result, succumbing to hyperthermia," says Prof Bailey."

    Its 15 degrees- off for a cool run with the dog to heat up! Sorry I know 'Running chatter' has been banned to Current affairs by some

    I used to work in the Pilbara where temperatures regularly ranged between 40⁰ and 50⁰C. I found it quite comfortable away from the coast and humidity.

    How hot is too hot.

    Global warming will **** (even further) the building industry as they won’t go out and do anything once it’s over 36 these days and 1 drop of rain and they go running like they’re drowning rats.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    That was one of those interesting differences I noticed here in the UK. There was not a surge of tradies in looking for a new vehicle when it rained. Even snow does not stop a building site

    Office workers are similar,once the AC is broken,they all leave the building in droves.

    And won’t come back until it is fixed.

    Even if it is half broken and temps get up to 26 or so degrees,they want to go home,where it is probably warmer.

    The same ones who go home & complain loudly to the AC bloke why their AC install is not yet complete.


    Some of us had deadlines & promises to meet to sustain our livelihood.

    ****ing nancy boys!

    BTW, why should running be banned from the General Board? The answer is in it's name.

    Where is the fun in that ie. No **** in the Fuel Tank or filters or Cylinders etc. As for the Carby it goes without saying that'd be full of **** as would the air cleaner.


    Maybe I'm missing summat here?

    In Dubai it never officially hit 50C until it was about 55. Most max temp weather reports stopped at 49.5C as the workers were allowed to go home when it hit 50.
    50C in Ramadan was always interesting because the Muslim workers wouldn't drink during the day, so they'd die of dehydration on the building sites.

    Thats is sad Brad.
    Records being broken again while I am freezing!


    "Phoenix, Arizona is about to enter its 31st straight day of temperatures above 110 degrees"
    In Jan 2023 "Marble Bar had 16 days above 45C — the most on record."

    Popular Scince states "July 2023 was likely the hottest month in 120,000 years"
    "Just chuckled at your post when I looked for 'dubai hottest days on record' Nothing ZIP found Not about the deaths!

    Yahoo weather suggests its is very consistent - VERY HOT

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Weather Forecasts | Maps | News - Yahoo Weather

    Edit- Concrete jungles.



    Apparently above is at 5pm on a 38-degree day. 40 on the Grass and 65 on the asphalt- Ouch

    How concrete, asphalt and urban heat islands add to the misery of heat waves (reuters.com)
