No, I mean it.

It's really pretty damn hot right now.

Scorchio!

It's amazing how hard it is to work when you constantly have to mop sweat off your brow ... high 20s at gone 10pm is scary! They're talking about temperatures of 5-10 degrees above average, hence these Mediterranean conditions in our "sunny" latitudes

coping with the heat

shaved or crushed ice with fruit juice concentrate over it really helps

Bah.

In four months it'll be 40+ degrees here. Roads will melt, bushfires will rampage, and flocks of bats will fall dead from the sky.

What you got there is a Brisbane springtime.

It was 38C with about 60% humidity here when I went to close on my house. :)

You have my sympathies...

Those temperatures are normal here (mid-Atlantic seaboard, US), along wih high humidity (and afternoon thunderstorms), but everything here from homes, public buildings, busses and automobiles has AC.

Ice cream is good on days like this.
