“...with temperatures reaching 44°C (111°F).”
In my part of the country that is called summer.
Today in Central Texas, we will have our 36th day over 100 this summer. On the bright side, we won’t come anywhere close to the hellish summer of 2011 which set the record of 90 days over 100. That heat wave culminated on Labor Day weekend with the largest wildfire in TX history, burning 1,670 homes.
