It's a bit warm here today.
I keep hearing that the UK is sweltering (haven't checked specifics). When I left work at 4 p.m. this afternoon is was 37.4°C / 99.3°F--presumably it had dropped off a little from a higher point.
According to the news it has been 40.7°C / 105.3°F in Tokyo (not so very far away) and they've had deaths.
Surprisingly, perhaps (as a pale Northern European), I remain pretty impervious to extremes of heat and cold--I feel them, of course, but I function as usual.
Hottest I've been: 45°C / 113°F on the Sinai peninsula; coldest -23°C/-9.4°F on top of a mountain in Gangwon Province at midnight.
All rather fun.
