The runway or the stuff left from tires
I read/heard that the asphalt in Northern Europe cannot withstand that type of heat and it’s made of a different material than ours or in the Mediterranean regions.
I wonder if that is true or more horse squeeze from the Gaia cult?
Evaporative coolers don’t work worth a damn in high humidity areas. They are great in low humidity areas. When you’re reading 80% humidity all the cooler does is blow hot wet air. AC is the way to go. That’s easy to say but expensive to operate. It is what it is.
More surprising that they have a museum. Mao erased a lot of history.
104? Around here in Phoenix that means the weather is finally cooling off.
What a bunch of wimps. We recently had a heat wave in Mission Viejo, CA up to 110. Today, it is 82. Heat waves come and go. It’s called weather, or maybe summer.
Loaded plane (C-5 in the case I saw) sinks into the asphalt parking area that should have been made of concrete at Fort Hood, Killeen, Texas.
Tinfoil nut-job conspiracy
Tinfoil - there’s nothing it can’t solve!
Concrete is a better road and doesn’t melt....and beats asphalt 10-1.
Oh, so you aren’t a middle eastern terrorist then? That’s good.
Asphalt melts and softens in Texas all the time. Especially squirt top roads you can see tire tracks and foot prints in it all the time. Same for squirt sealed parking lots that are jet black and can hit 140+ surface temps you can feel the heat coming through your soles stand too long and you can burn your feet even in shoes. Texas gets crazy hot. I have measured 245F on my black dashboard then proceeded to cook some cookies on it with my toaster oven pan and some dough cubes they turned out great just to prove a point to the students. We have also cooked bacon, eggs and made grilled cheese sandwich on black top it’s a great lesson in solar insolation. All of these are just what we in the South call summer.
Were all hunans born more than twenty years ago killed off and no one alve today knows what “summer” means????
I remember summers in the 1950s in southern california when you dared not walk the streets or sidewalks in your bare feet, or suffer serious burns. No weather casting talking heads today appear to know anything about that.
Oh, and our house had no airconditioning. Sometimes we’d all sleep out back on the patio. Oh, no one locked the front door either. It and the front screen door remained unlocked all nite.
The east has been cool this summer, relatively. It’s cooler in Montgomery, AL than here in the central US, much further north.
It’s so hot around the world, I think somebody is playing the HAARP.
I remember leaving London on a very hot morning about this time of year, then freezing my butt off on the Salisbury Plain just a couple of hours later. 104F is pretty hot if the humidity is also high.
Apparently .. crop projection ... from space .. a method used for years now ... is showing ...”devistating crop failure” in almost every country ..Except ... russia and china ... showing normal growth ... now That is strange
My MIL had a swamp cooler in Fresno back in the late ‘70s. Worked great but Fresno’s humidity was usually in the teens. Any humidity above about 50% the swamp cooler just put mold on the walls. Lol.
Oh yeah, and they are also known to be a potential source of Legioneer’s(SP) disease.
