We have the same problem here. The so called index of thermic comfort that measure temp-humidity-wind is so high that meteorological services don't tell us. All we hear is that the index is over the critical point of 80 units.Quote:

All in all a bit like an English summer today :eek:
From November to January we average around 30 - 32 degrees and during February to March we average around 35 but also regularly gets days near 40.Quote:

Today it's one of those days when
"The drought has stifled every feather of wind,
The sun melted down on the earth, left behind
An empty, exhausted, blistering sky"....
I nearly fainted at the subway and still feel sick.
Tropical night and 37C prognosed for noon
sounds nasty.Quote:
