High Temperature

Europe and the US are suffering a heat wave This Aritice says that many people are dying from heat exaustion etc. The problem that I see is that the temperatures that they are complaining about are 30-35 degrees C which is a decent daytime (Night time is the same temperature just darker) for the summer here in the good old Tville. You wouldn't call it a heat wave untill the Temp went above 40 for like a week straight.
These people need to work on 42C day in an old john deere 760 elevating scraper with the door bolted open and clouds of dust turning you red. Of course I didn't mind that the door was bolted open as the air rushing into the cabin from the engine had been heated to about 50C, which ment that the 42C air from out side just felt like a cool breeze (albet a slightly dusty breeze).
