Photos From Arizona's Epic Heatwave

in news •  7 years ago  (edited)

I thought it was hot down here in Texas, but Arizona takes the cake. With temperature around 150 degrees, I don't know how anybody can tolerate the dry heat.

People in Arizona are used to triple-digit temperatures in the summer, but an extreme heat wave gripping the Southwest this week had temperatures rising to 120 degrees or more. I'm hoping for a cooler summer, but it's only June. It will get even hotter during the month of July and August.

I miss that blast furnace.

Who buys plastic walls in Phoenix anyway? Dumbasses.

The last time I went to Las Vegas, it was like 114. This is around 130-150 degree. That is crazy hot.

Get yourself a flat piece of metal and leave it in the sun for an hour, then fry eggs! totally doable there!
You can also use the sidewalk or asphalt, but i wouldn't recommend eating them.

I haven't try that out yet. You probably don't need an oven.

For half the year I used a solar oven. Saved money on electricity for both the oven and the AC.

I have to admit, that is a very good idea. Too bad not more people are using the same concept.

I never understood why it's nightlife was so dead. There should be a lot of call for third shift work, but no.

I guess people are heading to Las Vegas for the nightlife.

Are those real pics? That's crazy!
