Watching a crew in Phoenix try to pour a slab in 110-degree heat without a plan changed my mind about rushing concrete work.

Honestly, seeing that pour fail and crack within a day made me stop pushing crews to meet aggressive summer schedules, so what's your specific cutoff temperature for a pour now?

Heard a contractor say 95 is his hard stop, but is that even enough in dry heat?

95 is plenty if you're used to it.

You ever actually worked in 95 degree dry heat? It's manageable with shade and water.
