It's not the temperature its the humidity, I can deal with 108-115 but wow 75% humility is ridiculously uncomfortable in Florida

Queensland Australia Winter.
Mostly fine, mostly sunny but cool, some cold winds from the Antarctic but mostly nice days and cool nights. Winter is a lovely (3 month) change in these parts from the other 9 months of shorts and T shirt weather.
Lack of rain is the biggest problem here, particularly in mid-Summer when everything is crisp and brown and keeping your yard green is your biggest challenge.

London Today

"A fine and often sunny day is expected. It will also be feeling very warm with only light winds. Maximum temperature 28 °C."

We've had a sustained period of sunny weather for a good few weeks. Long may it continue

I’m in Western NY. Our summers are normally beautiful and this one has been exceptional. We’re in a bit of a drought now, but looks like some much needed rain is on its way.

Sounds wonderful! (I realize it is possibly an auto correct typo, but still...)

Here in Sweden there has been a heat wave for ages now. Almost no homes here has A/C, you are not supposed to need one! I looked into buying a portable unit a few weeks ago, but they are of course sold out everywhere...

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem.

Just booked a flight to Scotland for next week, going to cool down at Johnny's place

Yes, it really is extremely hot and dry here now by swedish standards. And no AC's, like you said. Hard to sleep almost...

Thanks Art

We could use a nice day of steady rain. One day a week would get us back on track

We really miss the rain. Our area is known as one of the best growing regions in Canada. Thick, dark soil perfect for crops. It's one of the reasons the mennonites settled in this area.

I grew up on a farm here and I guess I always think about how farmers must be dealing with this drought.

Drought is hell for a farmer, there was an article in the news yesterday that said we are going to lose more than half of our crops, pretty devastating.

Usually we only have about a week or two of +/-25c weather and maybe a handful of 30c days. Currently hasn't been under 25c for over 3 weeks and the next 14 days will be 30c+
Only AC at work and in the car

Wear fall protection. That sudden stop at the bottom will make your other ailments feel like a mosquito bite.
