Hot! 好熱好熱!! 熔0左!!

The mercury reached 36C on Tuesday, heading to record breaking territory, as humidex values soared to nearly 47C.

Last night, sweaty Torontonians experienced the hottest night ever recorded in the city. The temperature went 'down' to 27 C overnight, the warmest low in Toronto since people started keeping track of these things way back in 1840.

You don't really need an expert to tell you how hot it is. But what does the humidex value really mean? Here's the chart from Environment Canada:

Humidex value: 20-29Feeling: Comfortable
Humidex value: 30-39Feeling: Varying degrees of discomfort
Humidex value: 40-45Feeling: Everyone feels discomfort
Humidex value: 45+Feeling: Potentially dangerous levels. Many types of outdoor work and exercise should be restricted.


I think we should all just stay home! If extreme weather in the winter calls for days off work/school, why are we still going to work today?!

爸爸說縱是熱, 也還不及香港, 上海熱喇
我卻覺得一樣, 甚至更熱, 更快熔掉!
哈哈! 因我只會感到這兒讓人透不過氣的熱浪喇!

香港...
又熱又濕...
全身被曬也不止,
還要濕"笠笠"...

最恐怖的不是這個,
而是星期一至五總是晴天,
星期六、日就會下大雨!
玩都冇得你玩啊!
