We're not setup for hot weather, so we resort to all kinds of things to keep us and our homes cool.

Apart from ordering fans from Amazon, what else have you been doing to keep cool?

We get regular temperatures in the south west, Arizona specifically, over 120°F. The summer I moved away it was 133°F for three fucking days.

The local paper kept a count on the front page for how many days the temperature didn’t drop below 100°F, and that includes the overnight temp.

    I remember going to the office we have in Phoenix on a February (years ago...) and that was a hot day for me... and 1 of the locals came in to work with a jumper on 🤯🦞

    The hottest temperature ever recorded on earth was 130 degrees, in Death Valley. I think your thermometer might have been a little off.

    The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7°C (134°F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California, USA.
