Of is het daar gewoon standaard altijd een hittegolf?
Wordt er bijv. wel eens geadviseerd om bepaalde wandelingen niet te doen (Wave) omdat het veel te "gevaarlijk" is? Zelfs al is het vroeg of wat later op de dag?

Waarschuwing voor hitte?
Waarschuwing voor hitte?
Heeft iemand het in het Zuidwesten wel eens meegemaakt dat er gewaarschuwd wordt voor extreme hitte, zoals nu in Griekenland en diverse andere landen waar men wordt geadviseerd om binnen te blijven?

Ook als het niet heet/gevaarlijk/gesneeuwd o.i.d heeft wordt je in Amerika gewaarschuwd. Let vooral op bij de info borden bij de Visitor Centers.
Wij waren er nu in mei en dan hangen er ook (standaard?) waarschuwingen voor hitte, hoeveel liter drinkwater ed je mee moet nemen.
Volgens mij zijn de waarschuwingen altijd wel aanwezig.

En dit natuurlijk:
You know you're in Arizona when:
You notice your car is overheated before you drive it
You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water
You discover it only takes 2 fingers to drive a car, because your steering wheel is too hot
You run your air conditioner in the middle of the winter so you can use your fireplace
You realize that "Valley Fever" is not a disco dance
Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one
You put on fresh sunscreen just to check the mailbox
You can pronounce Saguaro, Tempe, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly and Prescott the right way
You can fry an egg on the hood of your car in the morning
You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temp is hotter than the air inside the balloon
You see 2 trees fighting over a dog
You hear people say: "It's a dry heat"
You think 60 tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful garden
Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.
En natuurlijk altijd: SLIP SLOP SLAP
(slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat)
LOL Yeehaw

Ja zoiets heb ik hier zelf ook al een paar maanden geleden gepost! 
"Dit vond ik ergens op internet:
It's so hot in Arizona that... :
-the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
-the potatoes cook underground, and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
-farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
-the cows are giving evaporated milk.
-the trees are whistling for the dogs.
-you no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
-you can say 113 degrees without fainting.
-you eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
-you can make instant sun tea.
-you learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
-the temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly.
-you've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
-you would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
-you can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
-The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
-you discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
-you discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.
-you notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
-hot water now comes out of both taps.
-it's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
-you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
-you break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.
-no one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
-your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
-you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
-a sad Arizonan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."

Ik ben zelf niet zo erg hittebestendig (ik begin al te klagen als de temperatuur in Nederland boven de 15 graden uitkomt...
)Nou ja, ik zie wel waar het schip strandt!
Ben helaas aan het hoogseizoen gebonden dit jaar...
