^^ our Average coldest week of the year was last week, and it felt like it too, complete with a high of 10C/50F and a 3.4C low aswell.
It's all going to improve from now on
Jammie's right, I am deadly serious about my comments towards Dallas summer weather
I just checked it again and it's even more spectacular than before!
Spectacular? When it's so hot outside that you risk a heat stroke from just mowing your lawn? When the grass that isn't already dead is shriveled up and dying from the extreme heat?
I think if you experience this kind of heat for long enough you'd change your mid §AB.
OMG guys, I didn't mean to minimize your awful temps down there. I love hot weather, but our local radio station was also talking about it. They said there were three heat related deaths in the Dallas area. It really is too hot. Yesterday the heat started in the KC area and went south. Today it starts in northern Neb. and goes all the way south. I am just missing it by living about an hour north of the extreme heat.
Right now it's 107 here. We are four hours shy of the hottest time of the day. We'll probably go over 110 easily; I wouldn't doubt 115. I was supposed to mow today but fuggetaboutit!

Mow the devil. I wouldn't even go fishing. And I like to fish. There's a time and place for most everything but mowing in TX in August must not be one of them. May I extend my sympathies to all suffering the heat wave. Please be careful out there. And to think I'm complaining about my hot central FL weater. We can't match what you've got to deal with. Maybe the weather is where it's bigger and hotter in TX came from.

I'm not doing anything (ouside), nor is anyone else around here. It's as quiet as the dead of night and if I tilt my head just right I can hear the ground cracking.
The first time my husband came to visit me (we met on the internet, he lived in NC), it was 107 degrees with humidity in the 95% range. At 10:00 at night, it was still in the 90s. We went to Galveston for a day to cool off, because it was only 97 degrees there.
Overexaggerrate much? I know Houston could get hot. But 95% humidity in the middle of the afternoon with 107 degrees in Houston? That is impossible. If it was that temperature. Then the heat index or what it feels like is 237.2 degrees. I don't think so.

I've been outside for long periods of time in 40C heat and never felt sick or anything. The only think I felt was joy and happiness

I don't think so!

Unfortunately, Melbourne is also positioned about an hour too far south to get the full effect of heatwaves, which gratly ticks me off 99% of the time, you'd see places like Adelaide enjoying 40C days, while we may be 20-25C and cloudy atthe same time

You are right and the dew point would be 105. I don't think the poster is exaggerating but is just mixed up on the temperature vs. the humidity. It's easy to get confused and forgot just how hot a place really is or in this case, forget that it may have been a bit cooler.

I would agree with that for myself had I not developed a nerve disorder, but since I do, I can suffer from strong cold pains below 45 F... Since then, I'm usually happy even when I'm steaming, sticky and even a tiny bit dizzy because it's better than feeling like my fingers are being stabbed.
If SAB also has a medical condition making him sensitive to cold, he would probably also appreciate feeling hot, even very hot. For myself, if it only just cool enough that I can function, I'm still happier than being cold.
*I understand most people around the world aren't particularly sensitive to cold;
Why else would people in places like Isreal or Iraq be able to make snowballs with their bare-hands during their once-in-a-century snowstorms
when I, a born and bred northerner, have trouble holding a "cold-drink" for more than a moment.
That's very true, CC. Even though I've never been fond of the cold, the ole fibromyalgia and osteo-arthritis make me feel extra miserable in the wintertime. Health conditions can make a huge difference. I imagine there are others who have breathing conditions or skin conditions who find the hot weather extra unbearable, too.
