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.

    The national weather service says hell no. IF you do I'd plan to spend the whole day from ~8am to ~6ishpm hiding under thick tree cover, under a shade structure, and preferably on or maybe under ground, while drinking water and eating snacks/drinking diluted gatoraid to manage your water and electrolytes, then if you're going to hike or anything do it around dusk or during the night.

    I have no idea if I'm reading these temperature calculators right because prior to a few years ago "It will get so hot and wet that your body will cook in your skin and you will fucking die" was not really a problem that occured on planet earth very often so this is actually an extreme weather situation where I don't know how to evaluate the degree of danger.
