It's all relative. The weatherman said it might hit a record high in Dallas, Texas of 110f. Years ago when I lived in Lake Havasu City, Arizona my response would have been, "Is that all?" We hit 120f several times a year.

Surely water boils at those temperatures.

Our a garden is 33 in the shade 40 in the sun.
It’s 38.5 in the shade here which would have been knocking on the highest ever recorded UK temperature until earlier today I believe (Heathrow, just up the road recorded over 40).
I’d quite like it to cool down now, the exhaust from my brewshed cooling is at 44.5.

Raining in Taunton cricket delayed.
Back in the early 80’s I was working on the Shedgum Gas Plant in Saudi Arabia.
The Squash Courts on the camp were shaded but had no AC so we waited until the ambient temperature fell below 30*C before starting a game!
This morning (over 40 years later) I was knackered walking about 50 yards to Aldi, with my 3-wheeled walker, at 28*C; and it got a lot hotter!
:hat:
PS
Just had a text from a friend in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. “Sat outside in the shade all day. Got forced inside due to hail - bizarre!”

I'd give you a lift old timer.

We don’t understand a scale that starts at 32 and ends at 212 obviously some foreign concoction. Only the Daily Express in the uk uses the F for freaky scale,
PS
strangely no one says it’s 27F always C. Ie minus 3.
I think it's because when thinking about temperature in the UK if you say something is 50c you know its half way to a cup of tea so must be hot.
If you mention "76" to a certain age..well...that WAS hot!

Interestingly HB still uses F for mashing temperature of most us Brits On here. Because since I returned to Homebrew AG I think only in metric so much that I find imperial recipes hard work. Especially hop additions in oz.
