So today I was checking out the weather forecast and saw it says heat warning again?? Really? so I decided to look it up and see exactly what temps it is for….I do not remember getting these before and it does not seem as hot as I have memories of….My mom came a number of years ago now from Arizona to visit…we had a family get together happening….she got a very slight sunburn..lol funny since she is used to Arizona weather…..She had shade and sunscreen…..Anyway it was 41 degrees that day I recall and yes we all knew it was hot…there was no such thing as a heat warning other than a normal look at the temps and us all discussing being smart etc…So what is up with this?
I found out that it kicks in when the temp for at least two days in a row is 26 degrees? Wow this seems over the top to me as 26 is not that hot….I thought about it for a bit and I think it is more cautious people deciding for us that it is hot because otherwise some will not pay attention and hydrate and wear sunscreen unless they get told to….sigh…a sign of our times I suppose…Not sure why they use a lower temp like that for the warning but whatever….I guess it is good that some will listen and use caution…I suppose it is like the postings for tide pods about not eating them…and signs saying don’t drink battery fluids….sigh…there are no people left with common sense?
I guess the powers that make these signs and warnings think along those lines….ugh..It says something not great about us as a whole that they feel the need for things like this…I can only hope that it gets better….I wonder if it has to do with the way society is teaching us to only listen to what they are told… and not think for ourselves…Some do not know how….Anyway here is me just putting it out there and hoping you readers decide to do some of your own thinking but of course use common sense please!!! Cheers Y’all and enjoy the warm weather!!
