95 degrees with only 30% humidity? Sounds nice.
Sounds like Vegas <g> We're up to 95 here, too, but humidity is 70%
- 80%, so it's very muggy. I guess since it's the norm and we're used to
it, it doesn't slow anyone down much.
I'm curious about those temperatures. I recall a lot of
discussion of the heat index after the Barcelona Olympics and as I
remember, those figures should be seriously in the red zone for equine
safety. Am I remembering wrong? If I'm not, I'll be really
interested in hearing how they handle the heat issue.
We are just
going into summer here, which is our time to slow things down. Yesterday
had a high of 96 F but humidity below 30%. With a nice breeze blowing down
the valley, I took a couple of my horses out for some easy work. But
when it is above 96 F and above about 50% humidity, which we do get at
times unfortunately, no one here works.
Then again, in a place where
that is the norm..... well, I'm glad I don't have to deal with it on
a daily basis.
