What's Hot
I don't understand how humans can live in warm countries. I'm in southern Spain at the moment and it's about 29C at 11:40pm. I'm sitting on the balcony in my y-fronts only and sweating like a (insert inappropriate analogy of choice).
That's only 29C.
@stickyfiddle I believe lives in the fires of Mount Doom where 29C would see them getting the gritters out.
How can humans exist like this? Acclimatisation my arse. How can human bodies function in one climate but not another? We're all the same basic anatomy!
I've seen parts of Africa reach high 40's.... If you stick an Eskimo in Northern Mali in August he'd last six minutes before spontaneous combustion occurred. How does that work? An Eskimo has the same physiology as a Malian.

Humans are destructive parasites that will destroy the celestial oasis of Earth. The sooner Homo Sapiens are extinct, the better.

Edit: Indeed you are correct. I am thinker than I drunk I am.
Pity about the reasons it's so hot. Enjoy your trip!
This weeks 30 was not nice.. I've not played guitar for 5 weeks now because even the simplest of things makes me a sweaty mess.
But let's be honest here. You really just wanted people to know you're in South Spain, didn't you. Typical humble brag
be grateful you didnt read his declaration of nakedness.
Didn't you get back from Greece not so long ago or was it Turkey? You're always posting a bit pissed up from various locations around the Med.
How the other half live!
I've never been a fan of extreme heat, add hayfever into the bargain and I'm no fan of summer.
Autumn approaches, my favourite time of the year.
2. It's Spain, not Tahiti. @Kilgore - slight exaggeration Sir. I was in Kefalonia in May, where we saw the sun for just 2.5 days out of the 14 we were there. We don't normally go away that early but our dog died in January and we had the freedom to go. It was my first holiday since before the start of Covid. So two holidays in three and a half years... Not quite "You're always posting a bit pissed up from various locations around the Med." is it ? Now, go back to your desk and think about what you've done here.
Until the jet stream turns off that is...

It's not just the 40-45C heat, it's the relentless humidity that I struggle with.
So.... tired....
The 20s are fine for me.
Going from Scottish winter to Kenyan heat was a shock, but after a week I was used to it.
I love heat though. As @DiscoStu points out, humidity is the killer.
Kenya was like being baked in an oven.
Jamaica was cooler but much more humid, sweat didn't evaporate & working was horrible.
