35 degrees and it's just the beginning. I can't understand how anyone can be outside by their own will like this (unless you're forced to work in those conditions, construction workers and similar).

Thanks! I'll drop the decimals then.

Yeah man, 95 F (35 C) is unbearable when it's humid. I ran a 10k once in Florida when it was 85 F (29 C) and 85% humidity, and I thought I was literally going to die. I couldn't cool off, and I couldn't breathe. I couldn't stop running, or I'd lose the race. I was young, so the idea of losing the race instead of dying was inconceivable to me, winning was the only option. I didn't win, but I did get 2nd place, which is pretty good considering I wasn't accustomed to that weather. I didn't die either, which was nice.
