No worries

[Pharen]

In NZ the second of February is generally the hottest day of the year. One year in Coro I left the thermometer in the sun and it read 46 degrees Celcius.

[Stefe]

Not even Adun can save you from that.

And then there's me, sitting here at -2C.

*Yay winter*

[Pharen]

Hottest temperature I've had to endure was about 60 degrees celcius. Had to do maintenance on a acid pipe in a fertworks factory, I was in a Dragr suit.

Something like this one.

Before we went in we had to drink 2 litres of water, we weren't allowed inside for any more than 5 minutes. Afterwards we had to drink another 4 litres of water. The sweat filled the boots to about the knees. The boss basically got us in, do the job, have a shower, and go home fully paid for the day.

 

It was hot, hard work, but 5 minutes work for half a day off (since we did it at midday) was all good by me.

Leaving it in the sun probably had something to do with that

That's an accurate reading of the temperature of the suns exposure. Reading it in the shade only shows ambient temperature.

Wow... Sounds like not a fun time. I hope you are getting paid well enough.

What's your profession called, i wonder?

As someone who often gets uncomfortable in like 21℃ weather (really, I start melting if it gets much higher), I think that would actually kill me.

Edit: Somewhere around 40℃ (+-2) was probably the highest I've been in. Thankfully, it was dry heat, and every building had AC.

Here I am, as an American, laughingly weeping why we haven't switched to the Metric system...

I was doing maintenance work as a engineering apprentice back then. The pipe that ran through the acid tower burst so we had to go in and put a special fibreglass bandage around it.

 

I was told if something happens to the air, let one of the other two know, do not under any circumstances remove the mask, let your self suffocate and get resuscitated once you've been removed from the tower, the potency of the acid mist would kill or seriously injure you upon contact. We had a 5 minute airtight seal check before entry.

Well it was 24 degrees C in the shade where I worked today, I'd estimate 30+ in direct sunlight. I had two drink bottles, one for drinking, one for throwing water over myself to keep cool.
