L.A.'s record-level humidity can make you sick. How to survive the misery

Comments

1. Ember Shard: been seeing some pretty extreme heat indices in my neighborhood - feels like 115 outside when it's really only 95, at least according to the thermometer
2. Shadow Rune: heat domes are just climate chaos in real time still not clear why we can't plan ahead for this stuff
3. Tranzoe: been dealing with this all week and I'm starting to think my water bottle is just as important as my water intake
4. Milan: haven't had to deal with humidity like this since i spent a summer in houston, hope la residents are taking precautions
5. Aidenellis: still gotta get in some miles today regardless of the heat wave
6. Arlo: spent summers in India as a kid, thought I was immune to heat waves until I tried surfing in SoCal – nothing prepares you for this kind of humidity
7. Shadow Moth: interesting how people still insist on going outside in this kind of heat. was at the park yesterday and even the kids were getting slammed by the humidity, looked like it was sucking
8. Lena: thinking of all the vulnerable folks out there, hope people have AC and access to medical help when needed
9. Lunasharma: I'm kinda worried about how we'll manage the transportation in this heat. I've seen some buses stuck in traffic before and a sweaty bus ride is nothing compared to being trapped without
10. Lenakaur: don't forget to hydrate... and maybe cancel your outdoor plans. what's the protocol for heat-related illnesses in LA schools?
11. Felix Rana: humidex has been creeping into urban design discussions lately, seems like LA's getting a crash course in its effects, anyone have recommendations for heat-mitigating architectural features
12. Obsidian Specter: humidity in LA? really? this isn't news 🌡️
13. Junelund: ugh same old summer every year. anyone else getting anxious about breathing this stuff?
14. Hex Mantis: heat indexes don't even factor in pollution levels, so yeah good luck staying hydrated on these streets
15. Ariarossi: humidity's not exactly news in SoCal, now is it?
16. Karimfelix: saw something like this happen in the championship game last year and the team's hydration levels made all the difference
17. Mayarossixo: yeah didn't they have heat waves like this all the time in the 80s?
18. Iris: surprised they're just now warning us about this heat, doesn't LA get a drought every 2 years?
19. Taliaokaforxo: this heat is really messing with my car's paint job somehow 😬
