I wonder if it's too hot to wear my black leather motorcycle jacket?

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Low of 74 here.
Yes, wear the leather and sweat a pound or two away!
No official weather reading has ever been that high on Earth though. I grew up in the desert, not far from the world-record hottest spot, actually. Have been in 120 plenty of times but not 140.
If you measure in the sunlight though, I'm sure I believe you experienced 140. Official readings are taken under a shade. Also, if you measure the ground instead or measured the inside of a closed up car, I'd believe 180. Have successfully fried egg on the ground.
Hellish, nonetheless.
