Hmm, 35C and dewpoint of 33C at the METAR for Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (VEPT), Bihar, India. I don't think in Celsius, but I am thinking that is uncomfortable at best, likely heat illness or death at worst. (assuming no A/C). #heatwave #india #vept

ps.
For LINUX:
apt install metar
metar -D VEPT

I posted this screenshot from Terminator 2 a few years ago, and it seems even more true today: you should be preparing kids for an uncertain future (not the blowing things up and weapons, but disaster preparedness and survival skills). "Here's how to perfect your golf game" isn't gonna do it. #DisasterPreparedness #Terminator #SkynetDay

cuT TO: A106 INT. WEAPONS CACHE Terminator returns from carrying out several cases of ammo. John is selecting rifles from a long rack. Jomy See, I grew up in places like this, so I just thougat it was how people lived... riding around in helicopters. Learning how to blow snit up. John grabs an AK-47 and racks the bolt with a practiced action. Inspects the receiver for wear. Doesn't Like what he sees. Puts is back. fis movement are efficient. Professional. Uninterested. Jomy Then, when Mom got busted I got put in a regular school. The other kids were, like, into Nintendo. Terminator has found a Vietnam-era "blooper” M-79 grenade launcher. A very crude but effective weapon. He opens the breech and inspects the bore. Jom Are you ever afraid?

Apparently people dying in their homes from heat just doesn't make it into the news in Arizona. Not even one article about the two people I knew who died in Bullhead City, Arizona (at their second home... they have their first home at an expensive luxury retirement community in #ThousandOaks California) due to #heat last week, anywhere (!) #heatwaves #HeatIllness #AZwx

A good rundown on how doctors are planning to handle increasing #heatwaves and #HeatIllness (one: have body bags pre-prepped so you can stuff live patients in there with bags of ice for rapid cooldown to prevent #heatstroke) https://www.statnews.com/2023/07/18/doctors-prepare-for-extreme-heat-climate-change/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=mastodon_organic
