It is hot, bloody hot and it is only going to get worse, all of this week. Currently we are facing 32°C and if you think about where I come from, this should be normal. No! It is not normal! The heat here is scorching and it burns your skin. If you aren't using sunscreen with SPF 30, you're in big trouble.
What adds to the heat is the humidex. Humidex is a measure used by Canadian Meterologists to determine the combined effect of heat and humidity. Humidex is a dimensionless number, however, the number indicates an approximate temperature in °C. According to the Meteorological Service of Canada, a humidex of at least 40 causes "great discomfort" and above 45 is "dangerous." When the humidex hits 54, heat stroke is imminent.
