I love hot weather: summer means t-shirts and shorts, BBQs, turning brown, and visits to the beach.
The hottest place I've been is Perth, Australia during a heatwave: 45 degrees Celcius (113 fahrenheit).
I sat on a shaded patio at a hostel with a few others. Between sips of beer, we took turns saying things like:
"It's hot."
"Man, it's hot."
"It's so hot."
Really hot weather affects speech, I guess.
My friend was working in a metal warehouse Australianizing Eastern European jeep things: attaching roo bars, adjusting suspensions, and bolting beer holders on to the dashboards.
He roasted in that warehouse.
Someone put a dial on the wall and labelled it air-conditioner.
Every 15 minutes someone would shout, " Can you turn up the air-con, it's getting a bit warm in here".
Someone would walk over and turn up the dial.
Those guys had a pretty good sense of humor that day; and heat stroke.
I hope at the end of the day they turned the air-con off.
It's not good to waste energy.
