I seriously can't wrap my head around these numbers. These are actual values from my work. It's hot yes, but I just can't wrap my mind around some of these heat index. We get these numbers from standing about 15 feet from a 1000'f (530'c) walk in oven without doors. That is our normal workspace. We get frequent water breaks, but don't have or want heat gear, too heavy.

Here's some pics.

These two are taken from a few weeks ago.

And here was today's.

I just dont understand this. What does boiling feel like? I stood in this all day and still got my skin. Now I understand when they say it's 92 but it feels like 98. That makes sense. But these numbers are just absurd. Are we that far off the chart??

If anybody cares to check these numbers, it's for Chardon, Ohio. Our work area never drops below 100'.
