I hate super hot weather and humidity...I also hate super cold freezing weather...that's why I LOVE living in the Bay Area...best of both worlds...

[Jordiway]

Yes I work outside. Im a journeyman electrician so most of the work is in steel buildings. Was on the roof most of last week and part of this week. 105 feels like 115 in the direct sunlight all day.

Hubby and I grow blueberries. So pruning, tilling, spraying, and harvesting are part of our summer routine. Spraying and harvesting cannot be done in the rain, but everything else goes on despite the weather.

I have to say, hot as it gets and cold as it gets, I could never work inside.

[weswood]

I've worked outside nearly my whole working life. 4 years active duty USMC, 7 years as a meter reader for the local electric company, 15 years connecting/disconnecting electrical service. Last 21 years in the south Texas heat & humidity.

But I have had 4 or 5 years inside selling auto parts split up here & there.

[Bill]

Do you work outside?

I do AC work, so outside and inside. The inside is generally worse than the out.

[spidey68]

I`m a bricklayer i work outside all year long and when your next to the wall working the sun just bounces of it and makes you melt.

Funny you posted this, Thursday I was working in the shop, no a/c, on a motor. I didn't drink anything but a couple cokes and then some beer toward the end of the day. Got real dizzy and threw up. Felt like I was having a heat attack. Drank a much water as I could hold down and hit the office with the a/c on. First time I think I ever had heat exhaustion. Still don't feel right.

Soda is the worst, unsweetened iced tea for flavored water.
Running ductwork after removing the old metal stuff and I was working the job alone for two days. I drank four of those 32 ounce Gatorades the second day and didn't pee until my third beer at the bar that night.
When your sweat makes you shiver it's time to stop.
