It's varied form 42C to 47C (daytime highs) here this month,
with dew points from -5C to 23C. A "dry heat" it's not, at
this time of year. :-(

 
They've been predicting 33-35° for us for days, but it's never been that
hot on our balcony -- maybe 31° maximum.
 
 

A friend of mine was injured in Italy and spend more time the he wanted
in a hospital there.  He complained about the lack of air conditioning
even there.  I've heard that France is also air conditioner deficient.
Is that your experience?
