Which one is messier?
Tragic what happened to Josh but upper 80’s is what I consider perfect summer weather, not hot. Don’t ever go to Houston if you can’t handle high humidity and even low 90’s.
We can all handle it although it's not welcome. But I'm not talking about spectating, I'm talking about doing (2) 30+2 motos in it. Easier for some who are used to it, but it's no walk in the park.

I’m saving for Budds in mid-August
We living in more of a dry sauna around NorCal. Not sure which is worse but my kid has been racing in it the last few weekends like a champ..
Big sigh of relief.
I was thinking Cleveland with the Whoop Monster.
Scarier than Jeepers Creepers.
Heat stroke is much more serious than heat exhaustion and can cause long term issues with heat intolerance.
I'm going to assume they're both plenty crappy.
Wait, below 35% humidity and not in the 90s and this is hot/humid? Maybe this deserves some track side measuring because it is in a valley and may be higher humidity but... Hot? High humidity? Don't these guys train in Florida or South East where things are much hotter/humid?
Current forecast for Saturday. Sunday bumps up into the 90's and that could pull into Saturday, we'll see how it plays out:
More Ernest T. Bass in my estimation.
I only know I don't want to end up on the wrong end of a Millville Steamer, whatever it is . . .
Lewis is English, I’ll just give you a glimpse of our “Summer” right now and you’ll probably see why to us that feels warm. The only danger we have is getting rain stroke over here
You don't have to tell me, I've grown up in it my whole life. These are professional athletes, though, so I personally think they should be reasonably acclimated. That isn't to say it's not brutal, of course it is, but it is also not that big of a deal for them.
For reference here are the highs for the weekend in the places most pro's ride every day.
Clermont, Florida - 92
Haines City, Florida - 94
Cairo Georgia, - 96
Chesterfield, South Carolina - 95
Last Friday at 3:00 in the afternoon it was 99 with a heat index of 118 here.
No, I wasn't riding.
No, I didn't wish I was riding. Not here anyway.
Where's the haircare recommendations for the anticipated weather 😌
I hear you, but there is a heat advisory in a lot of those areas right now. And even though they might train in similar conditions, they aren't doing (2) 30 +2 motos at race intensity during practice. It will be brutal.
Pit Row
Wide brimmed hat or lots of sunscreen on the scalp. Hydrate.
You guys need more relax in your lifes.
As someone born and raised in Iowa but living in TX for the past 26 years I can attest. It got hot with humidity there, but in N TX its just oppressive. Can easily be 98-99 degrees at 10 pm. I can spray squirrels with water from the hose from 15 feet away and they don't run. They bask!! There was a guy making predictions on the podium at Millville, and he basically said Masterpool isn't used to the heat?? WTF? I know many riders live and train in FL now but it's not any worse. I try and make Millville every year because of family in Rochester. It's always a relief to get away from TX this time of year.
Whatever the temp says, it always feels hotter there. It's a serious test of heat tolerance for both riders and fans.
It’s only 87 with 25% humidity. Shouldn’t be too bad.
I guess the forecast depends which weather app you are looking at. Which site is showing 25% humidity? This below shows 68%, and some other sites show similar:
Bro. It's a dirt bike forum. It's not that serious. Profesh is the man, one of the few original posters left on this board. I enjoy his ramblings, shits an adventure.
Dang, 68% humidity is pretty high. I was going by the one posted on page 1. Any humidity over 40% is no joke.
68% humidity isn't that bad because the actual temp isn't very high. Given a constant amount of moisture in the air (i.e. dew point), the lower the temperature, the higher the % humidity. If the temp increases to be hotter outside and moves further away from the dew point, the % humidity drops. Humidity has to be one of the most misunderstood aspects about the weather there is. 88F and 68% humidity while it may feel uncomfortable to some is just not that big of a deal, especially with cloud cover.
That 25% on the first page was chance of precipitation. Now chance of precipitation is up to 46% chance. Regardless of what it turns out to be, high 80's and "humid" according to the forecast is not fun for two 30+2 motos in the heat of the day.
So we've gone from worrying about mud and rain in SX to now worrying about 80 degree temperatures and humidity at an outdoor race in July...🥴
Yeah it gets nasty in that valley because the air is so thick and it doesn’t move but it has for sure been hotter before. Let’s see who is ready for it. Millville is top 3 national for sure
