Well, it's a 'world record' temperature in our hallway - the coolest place in our house. Our sun trap garden must be closer to 40°C.

When we owned rats between 2020 and 2025, we were always worried about them during heatwaves. I think the hottest it got in that period was just under 28°C, and they struggled with that even with our best endeavours.

Thinking not just of humans, but pets and wildlife also in this heat.

@mathzy shit pomfrit. Our living room is a balmy 26°C, and the veranda actually feels okay at 28°C because of a breeze. V/ grateful we'll go to bed with the A/C blasting in the bedroom, though.
