I work in a well ventilated, but unairconditioned, aircraft hanger for a living, here in the DFW area, and from May to November the heat conditions are horrendous (June, July, August and September being the worst months); I seldom see temps in there below 100 during that time, and they are often well above 100 (predicted to have a long stream of 106-108 actual temps starting tomorrow), which means that I typically lose 3 pounds of water weight each day, no matter how much fluid I drink.
Conditions are so bad currently that I have started working a large chunk of my shift after 9:00PM, which comes with consequences of very erratic sleeping schedule. I'm close to simply shifting to an outright deep nights schedule, except that means I would work entirely alone and would have to function on zero sleep on days that I have to be there during regular business hours, such as to meet with FAA inspectors.
I've lived in this area since 1989, and there is simply no getting used to the burnass climate here, at least for me. Only reason I stay in TX is because I have immediate family here, along with inertia, which has me rooted.
One positive thing I can say about living here is that it has made me an expert on home and mobile air conditioning.
BTW, I posted earlier in this thread how it was still 90 at close to 1:00AM, well two days in a row last week it was still 90 after 2:00AM and more of the same is predicted for as far out as weather predictions go.
