I... basically lock myself in the fridge, aka aircon. I can't handle the heat at all (disability-related stuff). This morning I rolled off to do my shopping at 8:30 am, and it was uncomfortably hot coming home. Power-outage plan, such as it is, is to somehow find somewhere I can lie down in aircon. The alternative is icewater in the bath and hope for the best. There are no council cooling centres here for people who need to lie down in the heat. I could possibly find a library couch to curl up in, if they had power (it's very close to home).
That hottest night bottomed out at something like 29.7 degrees (after a high of 43). Horrrrrrrible.

To bring this back vaguely on topic - are your electronic gadgets suffering in the heat? They must be getting close to the outside of their specifications, and I heard of a big data-centre in Oz having to shut down cores the other day because the water cooling wasn't coping - of course, that's a different scale, but just wondering.

I don't generally take them outside, bar the iPhone, but then I'm not out at all once the het is really bad. I would never leave an ereader out in this.
