I’m a pretty heat resistant individual but not excessively so, people are warning me against it….will I die? I’m planning to go to Broken Bow / Beaver’s Bend, Oklahoma. Maybe camp near a lake.

    If I entered the numbers right this calculator says you're going to fucking die.

    Weds is supposed to be 103 with 70% (relative?) humidity. Which is a good temperature for sous vide and a bad temperature for people.

    I would suggest finding a deep basement and hiding down their with an A/C system until, like, November.

    Like the coldest part of morning just before dawn is going to be miserable. When mid-day comes around you should already be hiding in a ranger-grave with some kind of tarp above it and that should be under thick tree cover, and you should try not to move much.

    Holy shit.

    Fuck.

    We need something better than this "Heat Index" bullshit.
