It’s REALLY hot in New York today — it’s now 36 degrees celsius (96 F), although apparently with the humidity it’s supposed to feel like 41C/107F.

I just went outside for lunch and it was a bit breezy, so it felt like having a hairdryer blown in my face!

However, although electricity consumption in New York has broken records and people are apparently dying because it’s so hot, I’m not finding it as bad as it could be because the humidity is only around 50%. Having said that, it’s only the 3rd of August…
