I decided to make bread last night. Got my timing off and was up until 2:30AM waiting for it to rise.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Yeah, I've seen your temps and you are not used to that. Today it will be 28C and next Wednesday it will be 35C here. We are lucky and have a finished basement. During this time of the year we live down there mostly. We have an entire living room down there. Then we turn the air conditioner up to 25C so it doesn't run constantly.

It's up to 28°C here currently =w= next week the broadcasts are showing up to 37°C. Not as bad here as western europe, but the highest recorded temperature here is 37,5°C, so for us it might soon be the hottest day ever depending on how it shakes out

It's far too hot where I am, even my room is 33c with fan. No AC.

Stickyness is not comfortable. Brain processing too much to deal with stickyness and heat.
