[kiyoshi yoshii]

It is about 35 ℃ even now in Tokyo.
So heated this Summer.
What about your country?

It is 104 F degrees (40C) here in Arizona, USA. This will be all week. Makes it pretty miserable in my unconditioned garage shop…

We’ve had 17 days of 100* (38C) or hotter this year. Our average is 4-5 days.
We hit a cool 75* today. We haven’t had a 75 degree day since last May.

HAHA... I live in AZ in the low desert (metro Phoenix)
If 104 is miserable, what did you do when it was 116?
Right now I consider 104 a "cold snap", which I can deal with a lot better than 116.
And when we drop into the 90's in the coming weeks..... woohoo!

I took an SPC class in Phoenix once. It was 111 when the teacher cut us loose for lunch. I took two steps outside, turned around and brown bagged it in the classroom.

Yep...especially bad at 110+ when it's breezy ...like standing in front of an open blast furnace.
Once you get acclimated 105 and below is OK, not great, but OK (and that is mainly because of the low dew point).
Every summer(especially this one 2023) I wonder why I moved here.... and every winter I remember why ;)

My first job was working in greenhouses , rarely under 130 degrees.

I've read that plants can't photosynthesize above 120F...how could any of those plants survive at 130?
Even the cactus here were dying when the the temperature stayed above 115 for days more than a week.
How could "leaf" plants live in 130 degrees?

It’s been summer here in Indiana. I’ve orbited the sun 63 times so far. Sometimes summer has hot spells, sometimes not. Some winters are brutal, some have been mild. I’ve not seen anything I’m concerned about.
