I can only live in 66-72 degree temperature.

 

[redundantbassist]

I enjoy 65-75 but can tolerate up to 87.

73°F here (and people wonder why no one wants to leave So Ca lol)

That's the ENTIRE problem with Southern California, almost perfect weather, completely ruined by too many people. Well...don't forget the totally unrealistic real estate prices either.

I can think of several reasons to leave SoCal.

101 with 30% humidity. Supposed to be 111 today.

Just did our monthly bag check while on the new shift. Real strong work other crews. I didn't know we are supposed to leave stuff in the bags that expired in 2008 or have the bags stocked enough to make a completely separate bag minus the IO kit.

So does being seen on a traffic camera that's then broadcast on the news count as an ice cream purchasing worthy offense?

 

[TransportJockey]

I can empathize with that, it gets real warm down here on the west side of the Big Bend in Texas. And forget that, "It's a dry heat" foolishness, when it's 110 degrees it is hot. It's even worse if the humidity climbs all the way into the 20s.

I miss that weather. 100 with 100% here.

I've been on onscene.tv twice now without having to buy any ice cream lol (but then again we're not a fire house, if we were then I'd bet we'd have to haha)

It is an enforceable crime in this here EMS station.

Which sucks since I somehow became the PIO.

Do you guys have to declare an emergency and shelter in place when it gets that hot?

101 is nothing. All day units just got decent sized ice chests for water and to cool saline bags.

We all just cry a lot when it gets hot and humid

There is a reason I want to make Anchorage my home for a while. Screw that 100+ business.

This area sucks for about 3-4 months but is absolutely amazing for the rest of the year. Sky is clear 99% of the time with the occasional thunderstorm. No snow and no tornados.

DesertMedic66, are you out around Imperial or Calexico?

About an hour and a half north of there. I go dirt bike riding in ocotillo well which is only ~30-45 minutes away from imperial.

We're SUPPOSED to be able to downgrade out of our button up uniform shirts and just wear the company t-shirt we wear as undershirts when it gets hot enough, but policy doesn't specify a specific temperature, and the call has to be made by management so if we don't get the page saying its allowed, we can't downgrade.....so far we haven't downgraded to t-shirts once this year for temp (we were allowed to wear the new company issued t-shirts only during EMS week though)

You would die out here.

 

[NomadicMedic]

They let us wear ditch the 5.11 polo and wear issued t-shirts when the heat index is above 95. That's been every day since early June.

 

[TransportJockey]

I wish our agency would let us do that. The Propper polos we wear at work are.ridiculously hot

We wear our Class B shirts regardless of temp. It's been in the 90s, but no relent. And there was a near mutiny when polos were suggested.
