The weather snob in me wants to mock the Europeans and Americans complaining about their "heat" when the temperatures get over 37C (100F).

Last summer in Melbourne got to mid 40s for days on end. I'm sure I remember a couple of 46C days.

But on the other hand I'm complaining when the night temperature gets close to 0C while over there they're used to snow and constant freezing (literally) temperatures.

And... I think anything over 35C is hot too so I should just shut up.

Cool fog today.

Running water to every household is easily the best invention humans ever came up with.

Running hot water is a close second.

Then I suppose penicillin.

But what's the point of curing infection if you can't have a hot shower?
