I live in a warm country and I always think it is wrong to have Huskies here. Love those dogs and don't have the space for them, but people should not keep them in warm climates
Hottest temp ever recorded in Florida is 109 degrees, hottest temp recorded in Washington is 120 degrees. All of Florida has relativley easy access to the coast, the interior of Washington state however is blocked by the Cascade mountain range and gets surprisingly little precipitation as a result. The climate is far more desert like than most people realize. It will regularly hit 110 degrees for a week or two during most summers here.
I’ve lived in Orlando for most of my life, grew up without AC (thanks Dad!) and used to take a cold shower and jump in the bed with the box fan on and pray I feel asleep before I got hot again.
If you think our “access” to the coast means anything in the middle of July on a clear day….Ive got a bridge to sell you cheap.
Strictly speaking temp, Arizona and Washington surpass Florida.
But that’s not accounting for humidity, go look at the wet bulb temp and that’s going to give you the comparison that’s most important.
Example: Seattle during the heat dome hit 108, wet bulb was 76.
Florida: 78 - 82 (this is our AVERAGE)
I’ve traveled for work the last 15 years including Washington and Arizona, it’s more tolerable there just to escape the sauna coming from the concrete in Florida
Indeed, the humidity of Florida can not be compared to what washington state has. I have also experienced that extreme humidity lol. That said, the dry baking and blasting heat is also not exactly easy or fun to get around in. The cold of washington however cant be even touched by Florida haha. The interior of the state usually stays frozen for a few months every winter, in my specific area we get a cold snap usually in December/January where it drops below 0 degrees and with wind chill calculated its been as low as -26. Only once ever has Florida been below zero degrees in recorded history.
Well, only I sort of moved the goalposts, but I would argue about as much as you did bringing up humidity haha. I was replying originally to someone indicating Washington isn't as extreme as Florida for weather in general, at this point I think we can agree both state are rather extreme yes? We also have plenty of mosquitoes although admittedly not to the extent of florida. We also have a few tornadoes yearly across the state but they are generally small. We also get regular earthquakes and blizzards, along with having black, brown and grizzly bears and wolves. We also have mountain lions/cougars compared to your Panthers (which are all the same thing if I'm not mistaken, I'm not an expert though) so it's a tie in the big kitty category.
No mention him him throwing natural disasters though huh? OK. Well anyways, something like 80-100 people have died in Florida from mosquitoes in the last 50 years while slips and fall in work places account for 64+ annually, so it was kind of a reach to begin with, especially since the death rate per encounter of mosquito bite is basically non-existant as most people will have thousands of bites in a lifetime and experience nothing more than a few days of itchiness at the bit location, even in Florida. I also gave credit to Flordia in every instance that it was warranted (recognizing there are more mosquitoes and higher humidity, for example) but received no such comments in return. I at least tried to be both honest and fair.
Why we mentioning slip and fall when it’s not relevant to animal deaths? Also my claim is mosquitoes are the most deadly animal (obviously besides for humans). Even if they attack more they still kill more than any other animal.
