I was driving through my subdivision and noticed a neighbor pushing a lawnmower. At this point, you may be saying, “ummm, ok, and……?” The “and” is that it was 3:15 pm on July 29th in Georgia during oppressively uncomfortable heat. According to the National Weather Service, the Heat Index, a metric of discomfort that represents heat and humidity, was 97 F. “High noon” is often the time of day with maximum solar angle (and solar radiation), but the physics of the atmosphere causes a “lag” such that maximum temperature is typically 2-3 hours after noon. He was cutting grass during the hottest part of the day.  So, does society give heat a pass?
