My son in law just texted me it was 104 in Vienna where he and my oldest daughter live right now there in Europe. He said "it's 104" and "this Sucks!"
Yes. it does.
However, the problem with Heat prostration is that by the time you sense something is wrong often it is too late to save yourself. I know this from personal experience. Like when I was planting trees near Quincy in the Sierras around 1974 I didn't realize I was going into heat prostration until I was almost dying and fainting from the heat. Luckily, i got some water and laid down in the shade of a tree then. I remember how sad I was to give up that job because I knew my health would be messed up for at least a week after that experience which was going to cost me this job.
So, the point is here that by the time you realize something is wrong your brain isn't working well enough to make any good decisions at all. So, unless there is someone there who DOESN't have heat prostration then likely you might die.
People are going to the hospital now more than any time I remember especially on the East coast and in Europe.
If you are not smart about all this then soon you could be dead too.
So, be sure to get under and air conditioner inside or a water mist outside before you become just another death statistic here on the world stage with 13,000 Americans who died of the heat since 2018 here in the U.S.
