Praise the lord global warming has stopped

[malleefarmer]

Heat never bothered until maybe 10 yrs ago working in sheep yards drenching actually about 43 big sombrero kinda shaded area, drank about 20 litres of water....yeah probably lying but 10 anyway, cotton long sleeve shirt, finished the day previous day similar but 39 c anyway went home bit light headed, had cold shower ate supper just felt off.

Net morning didn’t feel quite right hot again went to do late morning about 11 am and they stuck a thermostat were the sun don’t shine and said you have elevated internal temps, told him of previous 2 days and they said you’ve obviously been heat struck. Told em I drank water but heat stroke and dehydration don’t go together always.

Anyway since then can’t handle heat 40 c is it.

Someone mentioned having a cold one on a hot day, yeah cold sofa or juice usually for me cause if there’s a fire and you have to take Farmer fire units there you don’t really wanna be half shot putting out a mate or neighbours fire.

But having said that if we were half tanked we would still go. Fires on Xmas day are difficult as well half the local population is elsewhere at in-laws etc.

Cheers sorry for the novel

Yup, heat stroke not funny either. Only seen salt pills at some plants I've been in.
Mom said I puked all night after bale stacking in July as a kid.

Twenty five years ago framing houses I’d drink well over 20 litres of water a day and poured salt on everything, and just loved the heat, now not so much.

After some -25 to -35C, we love calm and -10, but usually accompanied by ICY 20-40Km WIND whenever temps change up or down. Then snow blows drifts even blizzards! What the saying, you can dress up warm but can only take so much OFF when hot. Am guessing the sunburns are unhealthy like frostbite. Each can KILL.
Sunscreen a big seller? AC a necessity, like a FURNACE here. Somewhere between us must be an IDEAL temp?

Do you ever stop and ask why we CHOOSE to live in the extreme climates that we do, and in the career that we do? Ever consider that in a free country such as ours or Australia, we could all have been teachers in Vancouver or Port Macquarie for example? About as close to an ideal temp between us, as you can find.

I am getting so delicate I am starting to think a cab on a cat might be a good thing, meanwhile I stay in the house till it warms up.

What is the humidity though, mallee? I have been in Regina when it is 35 and found it quite bearable due to low humidity. Up here, 25 with our high humidity is horrendous. Some days it is hard to take when it is low 20’s when the humidity is high. Same for cold. High humidity cold cuts right through. Dry humidity cold is relatively easy to endure.
