Áine, if it makes you feel any better, I was in Kuwait in Jun and Jul of 98. It normally got up in the 120's in the daytime, and sometimes highter. The cold water in the shower was a chilly 113F/45C. It got down to 90 one night, and people put jackets on. (No, I'm not exaggerating.)

80-something here, with 51% humidity. I almost did an "impulse" purchase of an air conditioner earlier.

Allison, Bat Goddess was with me at NEFFA, but I don't know if you met her.
