(For those of you playing along in one of those weird countries... 79 degrees Fahrenheit.)

What? The only way a 26 celsius temperature could be realistically described is "a bit on the cold side".

They should come here to Rio (I mean, not now, because all the rain is making it, oddly for this time of the year, a-bit-on-the-cold-side-26-degrees cold), our heat waves are 45-50 degrees.  :lulz:
Everything comes to an end, reader. It is an old truism to which may be added that not everything that lasts, lasts for long. This latter part is not readily admitted; on the contrary the idea that an air castle lasts longer than the very air of which it is made is hard to get out of a person's head, and this is fortunate, otherwise the custom of making those almost eternal constructions might be lost.

I don't believe it.

The human body can only take temperatures up to 20 celsius.  They should have melted.

Sounds like norway.  Heatwaves are from 25 degrees celsius and up. Haven't had heatwaves here for seven years, though.

A heatwave? That's when the snow starts melting, right?

Pffft. We're not Tucson (or Rio, apparently) but heatwaves here are 103*F/41*C+.

OTOH, I wear sweaters in any temperatures below, like, 85*F, because I am a wimp.

Heat wave here is 115F+.

At 117F, people start bitching.  But not very much, because it's extra effort.

Also my phone meant forty not empty. I have no love for temperatures below the thirties though.

OK, I thought Portland was weird.  :lulz: I was wrong. New Zealand has us beat.
