[QUOTE="PACNW, post: 5368757, member: 28323"] There are two very distinct climates in Washington. West of the Cascade mountain range we are in the 70's most of the summer, but the last couple of years we have reached triple digits a handful of days and seem to see temps in the 90's more often as of late. East of the mountains it's much hotter. I was over there a couple of weeks ago and it was 105. Much of the summer they are over 90. My management group are a combative bunch of jerks about most stuff, but since the state put out these new guidelines, they have followed them. Any time the temps start to rise, they remind us that we get extra rest periods, we have endless cases of water and reusable insulated water jugs. Can't speak for other areas. Since our temperatures are mostly mild, those hot days kick our asses in W. Washington. Had a 100+ degree day last year where I drank a gallon and a half of water, jumped in a lake a few times on route too cool off and was still pissing brown at the end of the day. For me, the fans in the new cars we have been getting are a game changer. It's not A/C, but it makes a massive difference to me. [/QUOTE]
