It hit 99 today here! Verrrry Humid!

You know it's going to be a bad day when you can't dry yourself after a shower at 8 am!

So hot here today I could'nt run a straight line of EMT. It became limp from the heat before I could install it. Water in my water jug kept wanting to boil.

When I'm outside workin' in this heat I get hotter than a stump burnin' on both ends. I get hotter than two 16 year old kids in the back of a Chevy. [Linked Image]

I do this. It really works.
Once you pamper yourself this way, you may be spoiled.
A fan blowing laterally helps too when the space is clean because the moving air evaporates sweat.[/B]

Not a bad idea, but also remember if you are working in an attic and you stop sweating, that too is a warning sign of heat distress.
Years ago they used Salt-tablets, to replace some important minerals especially potassium, after you sweat for a while you lose a lot of potassium and water will keep you hydrated but will not replace this.
I usually get a fresh bottle of Salt-tablets from the local Pharmacy every year. and follow the instructions.
Works for me.
