That extreme heat is a earthly crisis by many, not a reason to celebrate.

Do I need to do a better job when planning my vacation?
Some years ago my husband and I were crossing the country on our motorcycle. We were in Las Vegas in late August because those were my vacation days. I wanted to see Death Valley, we were so close! My husband said, no, not even at night, as he put cold wet towels on the seat of the motorcycle to cool it down so we could sit on it at 8:00 am in the morning.
He knew what he was saying.

I think some people can just overestimate their ability to cope with something. Find out the consequences later.
