It is so hot

How hot is it, in the peak of this hot season?

It’s so hot that it’s up to the 110's during the day, and only down to maybe the 80's at night. I’ve left my mercury thermometer out in the sun and come back to find it reading 50C - that's 122F!!! But the numbers don’t really do the situation justice. Just what does that kind of heat mean?

I’m hot cuz I’m fly
You ain’t cuz you not
This is why this is why
This is why I’m hot
-Mims

It’s gettin’ hot in herre
So take off all your clothes

- It’s so hot that the guy who sells ice in my neighborhood is my best friend right now. I see him everyday, without fail, and sometimes multiple times per day.
- It’s so hot that the air-conditioner in my school computer lab overheated and died.
- It’s so hot that I drink up to six liters of water every day. Most of it hot water, unless I came straight from the ice man.
- It’s so hot that when I wash clothes, they dry within seconds.
- It’s so hot that what I miss most about home right now is the cold, crisp air of the pacific northwest.
- It’s so hot and dry that we get dry thunderstorms, without a drop of rain.
- It’s so hot that I sleep naked and uncovered, with an oscillating fan blasting directly on me, all night, and I still wake up drenched in my own sweat.
- It’s so hot that the heat has sucked away all my motivation to do anything except sit in front of my fan all day.
- It’s hot as hell.
That’s how hot it is. And there are plenty of volunteers who are even further north than me. God save them, those poor souls who are even closer to the desert.

The rainy season can't come quick enough.
