I thought this an interesting statistic, as quoted from the Sierra Wave News (Bishop):

The hiker is thought to have set off on Sunday or Monday in 118 degrees Fahrenheit heat with
up to 91 percent humidity due to scattered showers. To give readers some idea of how “hot”
that combination of extreme hot temperature and very high humidity “feels,” according to the
National Weather Service Heat Index Calculator, it is the equivalent to the body feeling the
temperature of 320˚F (160.4˚C).

(Copy-and-paste of my reply to this on PanamintValley.com):

The heat index calculator is here: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatindex.shtml

There's a caveat on that page: "Please note: The Heat Index calculation may produce meaningless results for temperatures and dew points outside of the range depicted on the Heat Index Chart linked below."

The chart is here...it tops out at 108 F, so 118 is outside their range:  https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat-index

I suspect that i'm much older than you think I am.

OK, I give up, what hair dye product do you use to cover all that "gray hair" evidence of aging?

That photo is at least a decade old.

LOL, why don't you guys quit goofing around and just state your respective ages!?     I'll lead by example, I'm 55.  And I've been a "silver fox" for years!
