117, 112, 115, 120 wtf is the difference, it's still hot AF. The official temperature is taken 5' off the ground in the shade. Put a thermometer on the sidewalk or asphalt where you are actually standing or walking and it's way over 120.
Here in AZ it was 108 today and I work outside. I can't wait to get to hell where it will be much cooler.
I like to visit Vegas, it's a wonderful town (I just got back), and avoiding the heat isn't that hard, walking around outside is for poor people.
You do make a good point I had not talked of, working outside is tough here.... and you are right about how the official temperature is taken.
fwiw, I drove around Las Vegas a couple of years in a car with no AC. It was so hot that you had to roll the car windows up while driving above 30 MPH, even with no AC, because the wind hitting your hands on the wheel would scorch them.
Much nicer place with AC.
