I realize many European cities are further north but on the North American continent 40 C would be very unusual. I think it hit 35 today and it seldom gets higher. I was reading outside and at about 2030 I was getting a little chilly and came inside. It's a semi-arid climate so when the sun goes down so does the temperature. It's be about 12 tonight. 'It's a dry heat' as they say. When I lived back east there were times when I wished I had A/C when I had to go south. Even if the temperature isn't extreme the humidity make you wish you had gills. With one trip in a company van that had vinyl seats I more or less came down with diaper rash. No fun. Other than a recall for the Toyota exploding air bag model I've never had them deploy. A snowplow turned into my lane an totaled the car but it was only about 20 mph and the glancing blow wasn't sufficient to trigger them. I think the first family car with seat belts was in '65. Seat belts just like a race car! Considering they were only lap belts they may have been worse than no belt. The best thing they were good for was keeping you from sliding across the bench seat during spirited cornering. My girlfriend knew what was coming when I told her to buckle up.
