In parts of Qld this summer some places reached 50 which seems crazy! When I was growing up and it reached 40, kids were sent home from school. It seems to be very much the norm now and they're saying 50 is the new 40. We have high humidity too... and on those days we can easily be sitting at 80% humidity which is most can be most uncomfortable!
If you ever visit, don't come Dec/Jan! ; )
I didn't know humans could survive when it's 50, haha, that's insanity. But still more unimaginable if it's 50 + humidity. It's the high humidity in Ontario that makes the relatively low heat (up to 32) so disagreeable.
It's horrible!! You just sweat and stick to everything!! On those days we're all heading for bodies of water or air conditioning. Most homes have air-con now, we don't however. I prefer to live without it but on extreme heat days the electricity grid can falter with the extra pressures of everyone using their air conditioners. Our house is pretty cool though which is great through summer, not so much through winter :/
Our humidity today was at 62% in the middle of winter, lol.
