normally I wouldn't even bother looking at a thread like this.
But when I was standing outside waiting for my child to get out of school,
I thought to myself, "man, it feels like I have a sun burn, why does the sun feel so hot"
I mean, I literally thought that, I have never thought that the sun felt hotter than it should no matter what time of year or the outside air temp. or humidity level....the sun is the friggin sun, it is hot...but today, for that short period of time that I was standing in it....I felt the way we all feel when we are out in the sun with a severe sun burn and if I didn't literally take notice of it at the time, I wouldn't have chimed in on this thread...
... meaning I didn't read the OP and think, "gee, now that you mention it, the sun did seem a little extra hot"...No, I thought it for the first time ever, and then here is a thread about it......weird enough for me to at least join the tin foil hats this one time.
It was 305pm central time....I am in Minnesota.
( now I would like to go back to being rational....enjoy your thread)
Thanks very much for your insight on this hot sun thing.
I can't stress this enough here......the sun was killing me it was so hot it was spooky.
Check all my posts and threads and I never have gone over the edge as in exaggeration ever.
I mean what I say here today the sun was very scary and hot today like no other day in my life.
Regards, Iwinder

Im in Austin,TX and it is really hot and humid here, but the sun on my skin feels harsh and almost hurts. I feel a difference.

Yes, I agree with you, the sun seems a lot hotter. I got a sunburn in January within 20 minutes of being outside, and I'm not lily white, either.
We're pushing 100 degrees out here in west Texas, so it's mighty toasty. But even when it wasn't hot, the sun just feels stronger. I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this difference.

Yea…So freaking unusual I didn’t even go to work today, I got sick and my legs got weak. I thought it was because I had black jeans on, but it still felt weird.
It wasn’t that it was hot…it was that….the sun just had an extra something to it, cant really explain, but glad you made this thread, im in Washington dc, East coast.

Read your thread and ran outside to check and other than approaching 100 degrees again there's a breeze which is taking the edge off. However on other days, about 2 weeks ago, this happened as you say. The temperature here has been up and down - air conditioning all night or heating. It changes within the space of 3 or 4 days. I was reading something at the time about weather modification and a directed heating of a geographical area but I can't find that article anymore but did find this of interest.
US military unveils non-lethal heat ray weapon
QUANTICO US MARINE CORPS BASE, Virginia (AFP) - A sensation of unbearable, sudden heat seems to come out of nowhere -- this wave, a strong electromagnetic beam, is the latest non-lethal weapon unveiled by the US military this week.

A NASA scientist sent me an email that the earth, sun and the whole solar system has just entered a neighboring interstellar "bubble" which is more turbulent than the one we were in during the last century. The new hotter bubble is feeding the sun more energy so that is brighter and hotter . Soon we will have summer days going up to 128 degrees fahrenheit said a Russian scientist - Alexey Dmetriev( tap this name into your Google Search and you will read what I am writing now). Furthermore the greater amount of energetic particles of this hot "bubble" is weakening the magnetic field of earth as well as the magnetic protective fields of other planets of the solar system-allowing dangerous radiation to touch the ground and the destruction of the ozone layer , leaving in cancer-causing hard UV rays to burn our skin under the outer layer of our skin.
