99 and 100% humidity in Philly yesterday and today. No AC.
Just to let you know how hot it is, my wife actually caved and took the kids to Chuck E. Cheeses (an indoor playground/pizza joint here in the US) just for the excuse to get out of the heat.
Me, I'm sitting between two fans on the couch. If I move more than a centimeter out of the fan zone it's like sticking my head in a blast furnace.
Elsewhere the cat, which is prone to jump on the table so we have to spritz it with a sprayer to teach it not to, jumped up on the table deliberately to get spritzed. After several attempts to dissuade the cat it lied down in the cooling mist, contentedly, until I gave up and started sprtizing myself. When a cat takes to water to get out of the heat, it's hot.
