What kind of a ‘heatwave’ is this?
In New York every summer routinly it gets t be in the mid to upper 90’s and in some years a day or a few over 100.
In the Valley in Califiornia I used to be walking home from public school (in the last few weeks before summer vacation) in 106 or more, on some days.
Looks like it is going to be a hot one.

You cant understand it unless you live here. There is something about the dry heat that makes it feel much hotter. Additionally, a heat wave is when it doesn’t even get cooler at night so there is little relief.
