Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition

Max Domi has taken his life into his hands and decided to spend at least part of the summer in AZ.

For those that don't know, Southern Arizona has had heat of over 100 degrees F several days in a row so far and it's not stopping yet (Tucson had 3 days at 112 in a row and we are always like 5 degrees cooler than Phoenix)

Meh, it's not that bad. You get used to it. Plus, most of the players live in the Scottsdale/Cave Creek area, which is generally a few degrees cooler than Phoenix proper, due to being slightly higher. I mean, granted, we're always a bit colder here in Vegas - I think our highest in this stretch has been 111 - but you adjust pretty quickly. Though, a few summers ago when we were in danger of hitting 130 for a stretch, that was bad. (Celsius people, 130 is 54.)

And I say this as someone who grew up in the Wisconsin and Minnesota. I am apparently only happy in temperature extremes.

Honestly, though, Max Domi is from South Western Ontario, where we still get multiple days over 100F plus humidity factor. At least the air in AZ is dry, so what the thermometer says is what you get temperature ways.

Having a type of weather for multiple days is different from having a type of weather for months on end.

They're also not really comparable. I was on a kick reading about people getting lost in the desert and there were a lot of people from the South who were used to 100+ summers with humidity completely unprepared for the desert at the same temperatures.

I do think he's going to be fine, though.

That's interesting, why is that? You'd think the dryness would be easier to deal with than the humidity since there's less risk of dehydration and heat stroke (at the same temperature). Is it just really unpleasant?

DA

There's not less risk of dehydration exactly. Humid conditions are warned about more, because the comparison is to normal, less humid conditions that people usually encounter, not to actually dry air. If the humidity is very low as in some deserts, the air sucks water right out of human bodies.

There's actually almost a slightly higher risk of dehydration because it's deceptive. There's so little humidity that you're sweating constantly but you can't really tell because it evaporates almost instantly. Every summer at least one tourist ends up dying in Death Valley/Grand Canyon/Zion/Bryce Canyon/Arches purely because they went hiking and didn't bring enough water. Usually more than one.

In the desert, you need to be drinking even when you think you're not thirsty.

I promise you it's not nearly the same thing.
