What if you lived in Australia?

Today was a killer, too hot for anything so we just watched tennis on TV Come 7 30 pm, being a nice evening we went for a walk, temperature out here at that time was till around 36 or so I reckon

You're dead wrong. I love hot summers. I wait almost 9 months for a typical hot humid or hot dry summer in Chicago. It's the beat season. The greatest pleasure is drinking ice cold beer when the temperature is 42 degrees Celsius(107 degrees F), but unfortunately temperatures that hot rarely come into Chicago. A typical hot Chicago summer has 13-16 days when the temperature will be 90 degrees F or higher.

Heard it all before temperature is one thing, heat intensity is something else.
The amount of times I've heard people from overseas say they get 40 degree days also and they can handle it then experience the difference brings a smile to my face when they change their mind and say "This is fucked"

There is a difference, it's all that barren and dry land that blows nothing but hot air down to the southern states plus the flies

I can just see you Estreeter in one of Chicago's worst snow blizzards. Snow coming down at a rate of 2 inces per hour, 60 mph winds and temperatures below -27 degrees Celsius. You'd be thinking "Oh, if only I brought my teddy bear!"

Whereas I can see him as Chicago`s newly elected (I said ) triumphant Congressman , Major and Senator

After the previous three incubates tragically unexplainably all were found nailed gunned to the top of the Marquette Building
With ironclad will`s in their back pockets bequeathing (Hey it`s a real word ) Streets , everything

It is not advisable to spend much time in out in the sun in 40 degree (104 F) temps as it will cook you pretty quick. Those of us who regularly deal with 33+ degree temps know that shade is the key. The Arabs move their camels at night and lay low during the heat of the day. I can appreciate the blast furnace effect and plague of flies.

I would recommend steering clear of Houston and Dallas in Texas during the summer months. The stockyards of Fort Worth are adjacent to Dallas so plagues of flies accompany the hot humid weather. Houston is farther south and was built atop a swamp. So the the 100 degree F summer weather is accompanied by 100% humidity and Biblical plagues of mosquitoes. The high humidity blocks the body's natural cooling mechanism of evaporating sweat. So, if one is not careful, one literally stews in his own juices. Baseball games are only played at night in Texas, but among hazardous clouds of insects.

Like I always said, temperature is always relative. Cold is relative too

Luckily, we don't get bugs, except in July. Don't visit the arctic or sub-arctic in July. And don't keep your mouth open like an American when you're in in Australia -- you know for sure what will fly in
