Here, we're in the middle of a heat wave, and the real hot temps happen in August, so it's going to get worse. In the first pic, are those red things flowers or fruit on that tree? We have hills on the outskirts of the city that are forested and great for hiking. That's what your pictures remind me of.
We also had the worst heat wave this year. Those are flowers of gulmohar tree in the first picture. Thanks for stopping : )
