Gotta stay up to date on vehicle maintenance too. I consider myself incredibly lucky my Ford Fusion just keeps on trucking in this heat while I drive Uber on the strip
Happened to me the other day when I had a broken radiator cap. A/C went hot and I had to pull over. Have coolant and check your coolant systems! (when cool of course)
Been having a friend follow me in his newer car and bringing a cooler everywhere I go because I’m worried my ol’ truck is going to just call it quits while doing some weekend house projects. Be safe out there kids and buddy up!
I was at Valvoline and they wanted to charge me $100 to replace my coolant. Does that actually do anything??? I'm reading that coolant never has to be replaced. Are they trying to scam me???
I Can drain and fill your radiator for cheaper but in all honesty it won’t make your vehicle run cooler or anything. It’s good to do because over time coolant gets corrosive and can damage components.
In truth your refrigerant should not leak out since it’s a closed loop. If it’s needing a recharge than bigger things are needed.
I live here and at home I would invest in a temporary ac unit that can duct to windows. Get a 1 ton unit as a backup to help for obscene weeks like this that require extra help.
As for cars…. Just don’t drive a piece of crap car over the summer for long trips in the heat. I also would not recommend driving to California this week because if your car dies along the way than you are absolutely fucked on the side of a road
Think of it like this ... AC recharge keeps the AC cold for you in the car.
Coolant keeps the engine block, the main thing that makes you go fast while moving in any direction ... :-)
I always wondered what law enforcement has to do when they have to put a guy in the ground in this heat because that sounds unpleasant for everyone involved.
had a handheld digital thermometer when I was a bike commuter.
It hit 132 on my way home a few times.
I hung a wall thermometer on my warehouses's bak wall that went to 140... it melted.
Radiant heat that builds up is a real thing.

Batteries, tires and windshield wipers are three things that will die in Vegas heat no matter how name brand or expensive they are. I live in a dual air house. Trying to keep both units from running same time. Both at 80. Kids downstairs during day, upstairs at night. Fans on medium all day. Still terrified of this month's bill...
I replaced my battery in the fall... lasted 8 years (original battery)
$500 to replace, but say what you will about Cadillacs / luxury expenses... sometimes it's worth it.
Reminder **MAGA Republican PATRIOTS**, climate change is a "*Liberal Demonrat Hoax*" be sure to stay outside under direct sunlight all day drinking beer like PATRIOTS to own the libs.
Heachaches and cramping is just the LIBERALISM leaving your body.
If climate change is real and this isn't just a normal heat wave, you better move. A few more degrees and the city isn't really livable anymore.
Are you moving? If not, then you don't really believe in global warming.
Damn straight Patriot brother! That evil mass murdering "*Doctor*" Fauci would tell you that skin cancer is bad for you! And that you should wear sunscreen to protect yourself from "*UV radiation*"!
UV Radiation, HA! No one has ever even seen "UV rays" cause they're not real!
While you and I both know that the sun is just God's flashlight giving you free Vitamin D! D, as in Donald "Jesus" Trump! Coincidence? I THINK NOT! The COMMIES at the CDC don't want you to receive this beneficial vitamin because they know that without it you'll vote DEMONRAT!!!
I knew I was getting used to the temperature when I was sitting outside waiting for at least 20 minutes to be called for an interview in leggings, a long sleeved dress, and a blazer without feeling like I was going to pass out or even mildly uncomfortable.
Yesterday I was at a night time pool party, it was maybe 85-90 degrees and I was legit violently shivering (before I even got into the pool). My house is 70-75 and I gotta bundle up like it's the deep Arctic.
I used to be severely heat intolerant before moving here. Even last year when I worked outside I could barely handle it. But ig slowly over time being in this weather does weird shit to people.
Yup. Now i cant tolerate winters! My hands and ears legit get hives when its under 60, and if there is any wind too, forget it. I cant go out without ear muffs and gloves otherwise i have a really uncomfortable time while warming back up. ..
I've seriously contemplated sunbirding. I'm remote anyway, so I could just take my job with me. Anybody have experience with this? I'd prefer somewhere I could drive to, so I'd have my car with me and can take all my computer equipment with me (I can do my job with just a laptop, but it's way easier with my full setup).
that's what I think is gonna happen a lot over the next 20-30 years. You mean like a "reverse snow-bird," right? Where people love Vegas and Phoenix, BUT FOR the 3-4 months of this hellfire spawn we have to deal with this time of year.
I know lots of people who "work" in Vegas but live up in Montana or Idaho. Sounds really attractive right about now.
It’s not that hard tbh. Trade school is 4-6 months, plenty of company’s hiring it’s just hard getting that first job when you know absolutely nothing. Pay is good. I just don’t really recommend it unless you can handle working long hours outside. As a technician most of the time your are not doing really doing heavy work it’s more of a mental thing figuring out what is wrong with stuff. But you will have to do some heavy stuff every once in a while. Plenty of tougher trades out there but hvac is forsure not easy either.
That I can understand, I've worked in AZ during the summer time & been working outdoors here in Vegas and Idaho since my mid 20's. Only thing I'd hate is the creepy crawly things tbh.
Have you ever gotten heat stroke? I genuinely can’t make it more than like 20 minutes outside unless I’m in a pool after it passes 107*. I actually puked from the heat twice today 🙃
Thank you, doing underground locating is tough work, between the crazy drivers, busy intersections, heat & dogs it's a lot, thank you for saying thank you it's appreciated.
I’m outside in my car for hours. Security guard. On the hour, I do foot patrol. That tour is. BRUTAL in this heat. Now that the sun had gone down, it’s finally bearable. 118 no sun still super hot, but not DEATH. Just walk slow and breathe.
Lord I need to stop smoking I was like 118 year old Female how is she still alive what’s she doing on Reddit lmfaoo
The Im like o bros going to see her he freaky
Reddit and pens don’t mix

Saw like 4 stalled cars on my 12 mile drive to work today. Heat is ducking shit up.
Gotta stock up on coolant
Gotta stay up to date on vehicle maintenance too. I consider myself incredibly lucky my Ford Fusion just keeps on trucking in this heat while I drive Uber on the strip

Also carry extra water in your car!
How

Duck? Memo to the inventor of autocorrect: IT WAS NEVER DUCK!

Taking my car in next week for a new ac system before it officially dies. And getting a nice amount of miles on my credit card in the process.
I was at Valvoline and they wanted to charge me $100 to replace my coolant. Does that actually do anything??? I'm reading that coolant never has to be replaced. Are they trying to scam me???
I Can drain and fill your radiator for cheaper but in all honesty it won’t make your vehicle run cooler or anything. It’s good to do because over time coolant gets corrosive and can damage components.
Look into getting an ac recharge. But getting your coolant flushed can help prevent your car from overheating. So not a bad idea.
In truth your refrigerant should not leak out since it’s a closed loop. If it’s needing a recharge than bigger things are needed.

AC recharge? Not sure what that means. Sorry I'm a car noob, I drive a Sentra lol.
Think of it like this ... AC recharge keeps the AC cold for you in the car. Coolant keeps the engine block, the main thing that makes you go fast while moving in any direction ... :-)
I'm not quite sure. But a friend did that on my camry and the a/c is ice cold now. Any mechanics reading this, feel free to chime in.
I’m mobile too btw
You should replace your coolant every 60k miles.
Quack quack mfer
My hometown is currently at 120, but let me tell you, with all the concrete and asphalt here in Vegas, this feels worse. Depressing.

How do you go outside to go somewhere without sweating in your clothes?
I read this as a dating ad for 118 (year old) Female
GGGILF
Benjamin Franklin loved GILFs because they couldn't get pregnant. Don't judge XD
Wait, how did you obtain that information and keep it as something you remember 😂
He mentions it in his autobiography about how he preferred older women and recommended them to a younger male nymphomaniac Benny was freak in the sheets
I think I’m laughing because I already know this will be forever ingrained into my brain now too.
Well, I am glad I made you laugh
A/S/L?
That sounds hotter than the temperature🌡️
Barely legal
Me too 😂
Lol me too
Hahahahahaha same
You answer that ad! She’s earned it.

127 in Death Valley
I saw someone fucking died from the heat in DV yesterday https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/motorcyclist-dies-suspected-heat-exposure-death-valley-rcna160636
We’ve almost hit medium rare.
119F according to NWS
120 officially. Insane.
Is the 118 F cute? She thick?
She's hot; about 20 F over normal.
She should probably get to the hospital but I’m gonna hit first 😤
My body temp runs a little low so looks like I've dropped her to 117.
“ma’am, stay still. I’m just helping you cool off” 😂
She's a 47 in Europe
This guy Celsiuses.
My covered patio is reading 126 in Aliante.
Isn't that Caliente then?
I'm going to stick an egg outside and see it hard boils
Think you could toss some bacon out there also? I’ll bring mimosas.
I’ll take mine over easy with cheese please
I’ll throw a sheet of cookie dough on the dash and meet you in 20mins.
Unsafe to eat, but makes your car smell amazing for like a week.

Hit 120 89119 an hour ago.
NWS officially announced it too (Harry Reid airport).
My electric bill about be $500 lol
Even Mother Nature is sick of y’all moving here 😂.
doll dolls trees icky spotted bake many liquid society stocking *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
It all feels the same to me after 105. Hot.
Yep it’s July in Las Vegas, no surprise
The Vegas record high of all-time was 117. The average in July is 107. "Times are a changing"
You can tell who has been in Vegas a while and who is new.
Reminder **MAGA Republican PATRIOTS**, climate change is a "*Liberal Demonrat Hoax*" be sure to stay outside under direct sunlight all day drinking beer like PATRIOTS to own the libs. Heachaches and cramping is just the LIBERALISM leaving your body.
Also, don’t forget to stare at the sun to show your allegiance! The longer the better!
Papa speaks the truth.

Go play fallout man
People forget that they keep putting in concrete and asphalt down, which hold the heat
Down by UNLV and van is showing 127
Cars can be overly dramatic in hot weather. My car read 136 while I was ubering on the strip a few days ago at the intersection of LVB and Flamingo
My rental car was overly dramatic in the opposite direction. It ready 83 while driving for 30 min downtown. Pretty nice for July!
119 over here and my husband and I are sitting comfortably in the house with a swamp cooler and the ceiling fan.
119.3 in Henderson.
118 F..... "Feels" like 130 🥵
Reason 1a why I reconsidered moving to LV. That and crappy Healthcare
I'd change the subject but don't think it lets you.
Pretty f’n wild. And of course little old me, goes out last night, gets home late, and leaves the car out of the garage 😑. Guess I love the heat
You're pretty old grandma. How'd you get on this sub?

When I lived in Utah, people called them the Sun City people.
My friend remotes from her RV for the last ten years. Summers in Maine, winters in NM or AZ
It is 65 degrees right now in Crescent City, California.
Missoula is lovely this time of year.
Anybody going to pools in this, or just staying inside?
Now imagine having to work outside all day lol
🙋🙋🙋🙋every day 340 ish days of the year
Same here pretty much lol. Just rn I’m doing it 12-14 hours a day. I’m a hvac technician the work just doesn’t stop rn
I'm so tempted to get into that, but the process and such, difficult to start.
It’s not that hard tbh. Trade school is 4-6 months, plenty of company’s hiring it’s just hard getting that first job when you know absolutely nothing. Pay is good.

No I haven't, I drink water, have pickle juice & prime. Also having a long sided hat helps.
That’s amazing! Thank you for the essential, literal hard work you put in (almost) every day 🙏🏼
Thank you, doing underground locating is tough work, between the crazy drivers, busy intersections, heat & dogs it's a lot, thank you for saying thank you it's appreciated.
My AC went out 🫠
I’m outside in my car for hours. Security guard. On the hour, I do foot patrol. That tour is. BRUTAL in this heat. Now that the sun had gone down, it’s finally bearable. 118 no sun still super hot, but not DEATH. Just walk slow and breathe.
According to the paper it’s 120F 🥵
National Weather Service said Harry Reid airport reached 120°.
Lol ya try being without a car. I'm ready to die
Wow you’re old.
Stay hydrated! It was 120F the other day
I drive for UPS in Colorado. I can't imagine how the drivers out there stay alive.
Gross
It’s hot too!
121 at my house on the east side.
Lord I need to stop smoking I was like 118 year old Female how is she still alive what’s she doing on Reddit lmfaoo The Im like o bros going to see her he freaky Reddit and pens don’t mix
Nice 84 where I am. Cooling breeze. I don't miss the days of working outside in Vegas.
Who would have guessed a desert would be hot?
Record breaking heat*
Literally the hottest temperature measured in Vegas, but sure.
Literally still a desert, but ok 🖕
It's almost like it's exceptionally hot even for a desert or something, huh?
Airport officially reported 120 … left for Pilates at 8am this morning . Ran errands , then home . Binged watched Netflix …
