How's the view???........

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I drive an air conditioned truck. I have no idea what is hot and miserable. Anything else is for the UPS guys.

 

[Operational needs]

Not that simple.

 

[Operational needs]

What is you are having a hot flash? Then 40° would be hot to you.

Wut?

 

[upschuck]

Wut?

What if you are having a hot flash,.......

 

[Operational needs]

I drove 15-20 years in non air conditioned trucks. Trust me, I know very well what it's like. Plus, I can't deliver any packages from the truck. I do have to get out on occasion, you know.....

I haven't hit that point yet. No hot flashes.

Can't you honk the horn, and have them come to you?

 

[Operational needs]

Lol. Ain't nobody got time for that. I'm back at my truck before they get to the door half the time.

Plus, that's just rude. I'd be pissed if someone honked their horn outside my house.

You would hate me---I honk 2 houses before the delivery stop.

So, at what humidity is the heat index calculated at? Nobody seems to know, so I contend whatever works best for me.

It's a sliding scale 40% humidity at 80 degrees makes no difference. 40% at 100 degrees does. Because 40% humidity at 100 degrees is a lot more water vapor.

I only honk the horn if I need a signature or to warn another motorist or pedestrian.

So you are saying it is at 40%?

If you're really mathematically inclined, there is an equation that gives a very close approximation to the heat index. However, this equation was obtained using a multiple regression analysis, and therefore, it has an error of ±1.3°friend.

Heat Index = -42.379 + 2.04901523T + 10.14333127R - 0.22475541TR - 6.83783 x 10-3T2 - 5.481717 x 10-2R2 + 1.22874 x 10-3T2R + 8.5282 x 10-4TR2 - 1.99 x 10-6T2R2

T - air temperature (friend)
R - relative humidity (percentage)

What is the heat index?

And the "Heat Index" feels like x° at what humidity? Because 100° at 10% feels a lot different than 100° at 80% humidity.

I'm glad the UPS guys who deliver my neighborhood don't honk.

 

[wayfair]

plus you leave the truck running, correct??

 

[Operational needs]

Uh no. You have me confused with Fedex Ground. I passed one today who was on wrong side of street with motor running. Lol.

No. Do you understand how humidity percentage works?

What if you see a hottie walkin down the sidewalk giving you the once over
