This is a hot country in the summers and I have done beekeeping for years so can handle 30 to 35 degrees in all the PPE etc doing physical stuff but this is brutal.
We have done almost nothing the last few days as even going out at 5am is pushing it. Almost started heat stroke last weekend....... Not doing anything even too strenuous...........
Another 4 days off this and hopefully the forecast is correct and it goes back to 31 to 32................. I can handle that.
We can get to -15 to -20 come winter though for added giggles....
I am Scottish.

I honestly can't remember another year being as wet as this one and the last. It's barely stopped raining since last October round here. My front garden, which is shaded for mist of the day, has been waterlogged since last year, something that has never happened in the past. We'd stupidly arranged a BBQ on Sunday and I ended up doing it under a sail shade in the pouring rain.
It's actually making me feel quite depressed, which isn't good when you're trying to wean off Sertraline.
I don't mind heat and cope with it well in comparison to some of people here in UK, but it's different when I'm away on holiday in Turkey or Greece in 40 degrees and totally different working, shopping, trying to get a decent sleep without AC etc.
I was actually thinking that when I was on holiday last month and walked around in 42C, hat on, water bottle in hand - looking at local guys, jeans on, shirts, driving in cars that looked scorched, with paint chipping off. Not fun. They're of course used to the climate but they'd say themselves that they have enough of the heat and would welcome some of the "British weather".
The day he chose to paint some of the exterior woodwork it hit 45 degrees. He had to stop painting because the paint pot kept setting itself on fire!
Meanwhile, it's struggling to maintain double figures here!

Bit of trading feedback here.
Got back to the UK and it was the end of the hot snap we had. I think it was around 25 degrees and could not sleep due to getting used to AC at night.
40+ is too hot! Anything over 30 you don't really want to be doing anything other than sitting in the shade.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
We have considered solar panels but that really would need a new roof and I really don't want to think how much that would all cost! Been a stupidly rough year financially and going to take a while to get back on track.
I was outdoors in Kuwait during their hottest ever day of 53C. Honestly I barely noticed. Their heat is genuinely much drier, but really you just can't tell the difference above 45C - it's all just really hot
I got some rain in the UK last week. MUCH better
