So ... heat index. Today was around 95F with a heat index around 104F. I was outside in it, trying to get some steps in (I've been trying to get 10,000 - 15,000 steps per day recently). It was uber-miserable.
For comparison, in my old SoCal town in the Mojave Desert, I would walk (generally 18,000 - 25,000 steps per day) up to 105F. There, the relative humidity was usually less than 25%. The temperature (105F) felt hotter, yes. Especially in the direct sunlight. But it wasn't as miserable.The dogs and I truncated the early walk at around 1,500 steps.
On the late walk, I did just barely reach 10,000 steps for the day ... just before it was so dark that I couldn't progress any more without a flashlight.
