From Environment Canada:
Hot and humid weather will continue for the next week. Maximum temperatures will reach 40 to 45 degrees Celsius. Nights will also be quite muggy and uncomfortable.
You are advised to go to cooling stations around the city, including that café with that really cool barista who always gives you free refills when you bring in a dirty cup. Also, popsicles and beer have become tax-deductible with receipts.
You should also consider taking some actual vacation time and staying in touch with your family to see that everyone is okay. Your mom really does worry about you.

Abandoned? Yup. Like most of the area around it. He could see that the bush would take over this area one day and he thought that would be a fair deal. There were no other cars in the small lot, but he could see that there had been several abandoned across the road in what looked like a farmer’s field. No livestock or crops there now, but someone’s forgotten garage. And this place…

I am going to look at the statistics for heat stroke in the Northern Hemisphere after this summer - i bet it has skyrocketed!
The weather in England is no better. The whole thing is too hot. I prefer Autumn myself and I just hope the rain comes soon.
Scorching satire—blazing temps turn life absurd: tax-deductible beer, free café refills—thanks, Canada, I guess?
