I live in Rio and we tend to be really resistant to high hests, this week the thermal sensation was 52 Celsius for 2 days in a row here
Holly mother of....wow. I prefer warm over cold myself, and I can be at 38 Celcius without feeling that bothered, but anything above 45 must be insane. Literally frying eggs outside.
Tell me about it. A temperature of 38 is already too much for me too bare, and my hometown, Podgorica, is hottest town in Montenegro during summers (none of the coastal cities are as hot, and only the neighbouring minor town of Danilovgrad can compare, and both of these towns I mentioned by name are about midway from the coast to the Serbian border!). Thankfully, it's currently winter here, but winters in Podgorica are mostly either grey rainy days, or cold windy days, or some sunny warm-ish days. But when summer hits - it hits us hard. I remember some online news outlet posting that some marathon racers didn't manage to finish because of the sweltering heat of... 23°C... Like shut up British bitch, on summers, my parents put the AC on 23°C or 22°C to cool ourselves down (although, admittedly, I'd prefer it they lowered the AC to a 20°C, because that way it can get cooler faster in the rooms that the AC isn't in).
