Listen to the vernacular of this weather report from Las Vegas, a desert. The report claims a man got 3rd DEGREE BURNS from sitting on a bus bench. LMFAO!!
This just after Las Vegas just broke a 60 year old record for the most days under triple digits:
291 Days in a row
They want you indoors because sun exposure is healthy and plays a critical role of many biochemical bodily functions. I’m talking about sun exposure, not sun burn.
I work outside. I haven't used sun screen since I was a teenager.
Skin Cancer is caused by frequency of sun burns. Melanoma rates are highest amongst people with PhDs and lowest amongst farmers, etc. and the same goes for sun screen use.
If you're not used to being out in the midday sun and you have to spend the whole day outside all of a sudden, then high factor sun screen might be a necessary evil. Otherwise low factor (Zinc Oxide) sun screen is the strongest you should ever use, because the risk of benzene compounds is far higher than the chance you'll get a sun burn being outside from 5/6pm onwards.
I just wear regular tshirts outside, if you're in the south you might want something heavier, but a tshirt has an SPF 7~10 and I've gotten a sunburn through one once and it was when I was working beside a foil coated wall sheathing for days, by the time we were done we noticed it had burned an arc into the grass so we'd been in a focal point while working.
I won't get a cold or a sniffle until about november when I've been wearing hoodies and jackets all day to be outside.
In Nevada's sun past 9 p.m. ? Don't think so.
I don’t know about 3rd degree burns, that seems a stretch, but it is hot in Vegas and outdoor metal will burn you. You sit on a metal bench or a bolt head in concrete made of metal in Vegas on a triple digit day and you’ll jump from the burn. People cover their steering if wheels with hand towels when they park their cars because if left exposed to the sunlight they will be so hot you can’t touch your steering wheel. I got burn marks on my forearms in my fedex truck when grabbing a package off the top shelf on a 105+ day. Vegas heat is a real thing.
Everything fear seems to be the norm. COVID like sickness made it’s round decades ago. Loss of smell and taste and the other symptoms. Nothing really new but certainly hyped up to an emergency. Things are being blown out of proportion in order to seize control.
THIRD DEGREE BURNS is a stretch?? lol
notice the guy in the video is Air Force
FAKE NEWS
that's the point... not posted to talk about the weather or how hot things get in the sun. Everybody knows that. lol
I’m dating myself, but back in 1983 a local Texas DJ cooked an egg in a cast iron skillet he sat out in the sun. It took a little while and he reported on it for about an hour and a half. I remember it was about 107 Fahrenheit (42 C) that day. So, 40 years ago a hot day was marked by antics and a “this too shall pass” attitude, not fear.
Also have to say, I miss good, local DJ’s and locally owned radio stations, corporate radio sucks.
Ah, cooking eggs on sidewalk is passe'; cooking someones ass on a bus bench, now there's a 'man bites dog varient... 😉
First off the guy said he was sitting on the sidewalk not a bus bench.
Second the low record was from June. Currently it’s been well over 100 degrees every day.
Third concrete & asphalt out in the sun heats up hotter than the ambient temperature. Even on a 90 degree day the concrete can be 140 degrees. It’s why they tell dog owners not to take their dogs for a walk on pavement if it’s over 76 degrees.
Fourth you can get 3rd degree burns from 140 degrees in 5 seconds.
You’ve already proved you have no reading or listening comprehension with you post. So now you’ll just resort to insults like a child. Go back to Reddit where you fit in with all the other bullshit.
This describes a third degree burn, not the heat it takes to make one.
Here's a chart of what it takes to be burned to various degrees.

10 MINUTES AT 49 CELSIUS/120 F.
Here's the daily temps in Las Vegas this July. If it's like Phoenix, and it is, the temp probably varies as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit around the metro area. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/las-vegas/89101/july-weather/329506
So far, the maximum official AIR temperature is -only- 110/120F with that range. REMEMBER 120 F can cause a 3rd degree burn--there is an activation time which means the length of exposure before the damage starts. A hot pad will cause 3rd degree burns if left on too long,, even though a quick dip in a hot tub might not. THE HOTTER THE STIMULUS THE SHORTER THE ACTIVATION TIME.
Sitting on the ground, or a metal bench is much hotter than the air and can burn a person. Here's a table of GROUND temperatures of given surfaces at given AIR temperatures.

BLACKTOP 130 F at 95 F AIR TEMPERATURE. IMAGINE WHAT IT IS AT 115. And do some research instead of relying on "You're full of shit" for ideas you don't like. Florida is having a heat wave too. Perfect time for you to go out and test things.
This is how the "collaborators" create the fake heat wave numbers: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/07/27/new-surface-stations-report-released-its-worse-than-we-thought/
Man-Bear-Pig is gonna git ya! My advice to you is to start drinking, heavily. And..... You can't spend your whole life, worrying about your mistakes! You fucked up! You trusted us.
For reference, third degree burns are those that completely destroy skin tissue, fat and burn through muscle, often exposing bones. It would take dousing someone in gasoline and light them on fire to get such burns.
This is truly possible. I lived there 3 years. Things melt there that you would not believe. 117 degrees today. Operated a tow truck. Burns from metal and asphalt very real.
Dubai is at about 102F right no. No big deal. It has rarely reached higher this summer.
