I forgot to put my windshield sun shade in place today. It's very hard to drive when you cannot touch the steering wheel.

Oh, I feel your pain. This had happened countless times when I got my first car before I even thought about getting a new window tint or a proper car sunshade. Summer was especially tricky, as you can't always find parking spots in the shade while in town. Besides the heat, UV rays can seriously damage your skin and eyes, so beware! I've only gotten into it after my first son came along, so I had to get a good car shade through [snapshades.com], as they cover most car brands and are more affordable than changing your windows altogether.

Careful, or you'll hear a sizzling sound when you touch the metal on the seat belt.

Feel lucky! Did you see the news item last week were the mother went to add water to her baby’s pool with a hose that was laying in the sun for a couple of hours? Baby had second degree burns all over its body. [cbsnews.com]

I have had to drive with my fingernails a couple of times the last couple of days. I remember to put the sun shade over the steering wheel now!!

I would recommend going to the sporting goods store, and buying racket ball gloves for both hands and keeping them int eh "glove box". Granted in the heat you won't want o wear gloves, but it beats trying to drive with a super hot steering wheel.

I lived there for decades. I was the June 26th, 1990 when it hit 122 degrees. And I was driving a car that had no A/C. Brutal. Keep some oven mitts in the car.

Now you know why your parents/grand parents whore driving gloves???

@Donotbelieve I ride a Harley and yes in the summer I wear soft kid skin riding gloves that keep me from leaving skin on the handle bars!

@Donotbelieve Call it like it is? Whores do like too with them?

I drove through Arizona many many years ago, to bring my daughters to Disney. We stopped in Tempe to spend the night. I will always remember both my girls red red red cheeks like tiny apples, as we were walking off the vehicle in the hotel parking lot.... It was hotter than hell and they were so happy..... And then, not sure which little town was it, we stopped for gas and the local signature was a concrete column in a roundabout with numbers and lamps to proudly display the temperature of the hottest temperature in the whole country. Cannot remember the name but the temp sure enough it was well above 100

Bet you will never do that again. 😉 lol. I spent 3 years in Tempe. My son was born at Desert Sam. It was mighty hot 25 years ago. I think it's hotter now...? I don't envy you the heat especially in summer.

@Stacey48 I want to say don't beat yourself up over one event BUT weather is so extreme in AZ that one slip up can mean bad consequences. Take care of yourself. YOU are special people Hugs!

Driving gloves? Not that I've ever used them, just an idea. ☺️
I lived in the Avondale/Goodyear area for 2 years.
I know what you mean....
