 It's getting fucking ridiculous. 
 For most of the year. makes the summer last longer. 
 lol I guess we in Florida are in a literal inferno year round. Call me Dante. 
 Florida weather in the summer is horrible though, always rains mid-day and it's so humid 😂 
 I didn’t say I’m happy.  But a 78 degree “heatwave” is for ants. 
 Here in Australia 26°C is a perfect spring day! A week of days around 40°C is a heatwave.. 
 For us a heatwave is 5 days of 25C or higher, of which at least 3 with 30C or higher.

 Heatwave is not the temperature only, but in related to the regular temperature in a zone and to its season.

26°C in the desert wouldn’t be considered as a heatwave, but will be in Antarctica.

Additionally, humidity is a key factor and could affect AF. 
 Didn't think 26 C was that much for the UK in late summer 
 I guess if rain is the norm then 26c is hot 😂 
 Ooops 
 when I say, you lIve in fear. YOU LIVE IN FEAR, GODSDAMNIT!  
 Oh how I long for 26 Celsius 
 Since climate change removed peoples short term memories.... 
 When I dare to answer that to post about it, without checking that I was answering to a Mastodon account bridged here, I got burned down to hell, fortunately it was 25°C flames so I'm fine, just had to remove my pullover not to sweat too much.
