It's really what you're used to. The average temperature for July in my city is 22C (71.6F), which is a nice temperature IMHO. So 35C (95F) is very warm. The weekend will be slightly better at 26-27C (80F), with rain on Saturday. I've got my cleaning chores planned for Sunday because on Monday temperatures are heading towards the 30C (86F). I'm good up to 25C (77F), any higher and it starts to affect me. One good thing is that it's really dry, which keeps the humidity down and makes it a bit more bearable, but it's not good for nature.
This afternoon I spend sitting on the couch, in front of my little fan, with a damp cloth to wipe my neck and arms down regularly. It was doable. Around 6pm I checked the thermometer outside and it was 35C (95F), officially it was around 31C (87.8F), so if the official temperature will rise to 35C it'll more likely be 40C (104F) where I am. And like others air conditioning isn't something many people have in their home (one of the biggest online store has sold out all their airco's)
Tomorrow I'll bring my washing up tub, which I use for foot baths, from home. See if cold foot baths help me cope (plus when I'm done I'll use the water to water the plants in the yard).
