In the Hot Seat WE EXAMINE THREE HOT WEATHER MYTHS
Humidity isn’t hotter. Humidity is a constant reminder that we all sweat and it’s an unwelcome guest every summer. But high humidity doesn’t make for a hotter day. It’s just that our bodies have a more difficult time cooling down. Here’s how it works: When we get hot, we sweat. This is the

It’s not uncommon to see streaks of lightning during the hottest nights of the summer, but without rain, thunder, or wind, one would make the logical assumption that the heat is creating lightning. But this isn’t true! Actually, lightning in the distance during a hot night is actually just lightning … from a thunderstorm. If you see “heat lightning,” it’s best to seek shelter for protection. There may be a few myths about heat, but there is one fact we know: It sure can make a home uncomfortable!

could aid the process with the help of tools like a magnifying glass or mirror. Other surfaces, such as the hood of a car or a patio table, could also reach egg-cooking temperature. But we recommend just using the frying pan on your stove.
