How's your weather for Camp?

[McTailGator]

Here is a Heat Stress Interpreter that I use for my field crews all over the US. It especially comes in handy on the gulf coast when planning for enough personnel resources and break times.

In this Internet and PlayStation age, I think kids have a harder time dealing with the heat then us 40 year old guys did. Hell, I had 3 TV stations and nothing on but soap oprahs in the middle of the day. So I was outside causing trouble all day.

I copied this from an excell spreadheet that I use. It takes several things into account like temperature, humidity, acclaimation, PPE (or pads and helmuts), direct or in-direct sunlight, etc.

Notes on the Use of this Tool
When measuring Dry Bulb Temperature, be sure to measure the temperature at the point work is being performed in case a heat source greater than ambient temperature is collocated to the work area and impacting the crew.
Individual reactions to heat will vary. Risk levels are determined based upon the responses to heat stress of average males of average fitness level. Individual differences may increase the risk levels and should be considered when evaluating the heat stress risk level.
Chart provides guidelines for assessing the potential severity of heat stress. This chart is not meant to replace heat stress assessments using Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Index or Required Sweat Rate. If the appropriate psychometric measuring capabilities are available, then they should be considered for use and the results considered more accurate than those obtained from the above methodology

It's a whole different level of hydration, proper breathing, etc when it's smokey. Ideally players shouldn't even be outside in these conditions, which are under air alerts in Western Montana.

[fuEMO]

"It's hot here, hot in Boone, hot in Statesboro, and hot in Clinton, but I thought our guys fought through it pretty well," said Furman head coach Bobby Lamb following his squad's near three-hour practice. "Actually, from a weather standpoint, it wasn't as bad as it could have been because the humidity wasn't as high as it was this morning, but it was still pretty taxing, especially after the fairly mild summer we've had up until last week. Overall, I think we're in pretty good shape."

Triple digit temps in the upstate today.

[SuperJon]

Yea, today was the first day of full pads. Tomorrow the high is 96 and we have our first two-a-day. It'll be about 120 down on the turf.

But Hydration is something that your guys really need to be talking about.

'Cats got their second day in today & the smoke wasn't near as bad as yesterday (depending on weather patterns, we're getting smoke from Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Utah & California). Fortunately so far (knock on wood) we don't have the big fires like the Missoula area is getting. All rivalries aside, this summers weather patterns are out of sync, w/ the extreme hot & dry weather we've had.

Pray for rain, cooler weather & no more forest fires.........................

Last I heard the griz start fall ball tomorrow- I hope air conditions are getting better in the Missoula area.xnodx

[BEAR]

I don't know what the Heat Index was in Conway today, but the thermometer on one side of town said 104 and as I cruised to the other side next to the football field it said: 109! Freakin unreal! xconfusedx xlolx

[Tribe4SF]

Typical August in Williamsburg....101 in the shade.

I asked my dog if she wanted to go out, and she bit me.

yeah, the Griz are getting owned by the heavy smoke from the forest fires! I can smell it right now in Helena. It sucks!

Damn enviromentalists. They won't let us log, then when a big fire blows up they dont' want us to fight it. Then when it is out they won't let us harvest the burned trees.

WORSE than PETA if you ask me.
