    It could reach 38℃?

    Baby, it’s already crossed 40℃ according to the thermometer under my porch roof.

    Gotta love climate change… it sucks to have a low body temp. Whatever temp you feel uncomfortable at, that’s my same comfort level anywhere from 8-10℃ cooler. So heat waves are particularly brutal on me.

    Yeah, I’m in that lower red splotch.
