It was 32 C yesterday in OCTOBER.
But that doesn't compare to last summer. The mild winter was a hint. The worst heatwave and drought in the Midwest in a half-century. At least six weeks of brutal heat, largely in the 37 to 40 C range--not including humidex. I found that the 37-38 C days were the worst. Once it got over 40, it became more of a dry sauna and actually sort of detoxifying. I had a home spa day once when it was 43 C. I alternated between sunbathing and cold showers.
