33 C is our normal for this late in June, today it will be just over 40 C, just like yesterday and the day before. Our hottest time of the year is mid-July to mid-August, when the normal will be in the mid-40s C. At least I have a good whole house heat pump, but I do have to go out and do some things outside.Right now it's been pushing 30C where I am, with the prospect of this continuing into Monday and Tuesday. Considering the height of UK summer is usually the middle of July, through to August, it makes me wonder/dread what we might get to. I love hot weather, but not when I have to go to work in it.
I don't know where you are, but in the UK we're not equipped for when temps go above 30C (one could argue we're not equipped to handle anything beyond 25C!). Most workplaces lack air conditioning, and it's extremely rare in most homes. Historically we haven't needed it, it's been rare for the mercury to to push 30C so often, much less go beyond it by any serious measure.33 C is our normal for this late in June, today it will be just over 40 C, just like yesterday and the day before.

Central California. We have 2 months of winter, 1 month of spring, 8 months of summer, and 1 month of fall.I don't know where you are, but in the UK we're not equipped for when temps go above 30C (one could argue we're not equipped to handle anything beyond 25C!).

I guess that's the price of climate change.
Mid 40s would probably melt our roads, and warp our railways. It would certainly melt this meerkat!
