Hot like an Oven!

Is this true?? The temperature for tonight is 31C but feels like 45C? This can't be true!? This is the WORST number that we got so far. It's so extremely hot!!! I thought the hottest we have had was on my previous post when it felt like 38C or so!?! Not even the airconditioning units at home or in the office can sustain the heat wave. Mall aircon even are not sufficient enough as many people prefer to stay inside the mall and refresh themselves. There are cooling centers which provides cool air and water for people to relax and be refreshed. But those centers can only be counted by the fingers. Just imagine yourself, on a bright and sunny and humid and hot weather, with the sun's rays directly shining in your eyes and you have to stay under the sun just because you are waiting for a bus ride home. When you boarded the bus, the air inside is so humid despite having the aircon opened. But yet, it's not enough. Then you get down and transfer to another bus. Same scenario. AAARRGGHHH!!! Makes you want to jump into a pool of cold water! hehe...

I read in the news that 80% of the hospital emergencies will be baby boomers suffering from the heat wave. The city raised up a heat alert and advised people to stay inside if they can. But for people who can't stay inside simple because they have mouths to be fed, must and have no choice but to be outside. Oh well, as I always say every year, I'm looking foward to the FALL season. :)
