OMG! 26C with a high of maybe 30C? How will they survive? (That's 78.8 and 86 F)
All last week and all weekend I've worked outside all afternoon on my woodworking project and am looking forward to the cool down to start the week. Looks like on Tuesday I might need a sweater?

I bet we're going to break 115 (46.11C) within a week? Last summer we had 55 days where it hit 110 (43.33) with 31 of them being consecutive with overnight lows in the mid to upper 90s (35-36C ish). We hit 115 (46.11) fifteen times and we hit 119 (48.33) twice.
Before anyone says "but it's a dry heat", let me point out that your oven and blast furnaces are also a dry heat!
Because I'd rather not spend all my money on my electric bill, I set my thermostat at 93 (33.88) during the day, turn it down to 85 (29.44) at 7:00 PM when my peak energy rates go down and turn it down to 82 (27.7) when I go to bed. I do keep a fan on at all times though - I'm not stupid!
Summer is just getting started - wait until July!
