I feel like lately it's been hotter than it ever got through the middle of summer. I don't like it. Feeling for the people who don't have power

Sleeping when it’s hot is so uncomfortable, feel sorry for those without aircon. But I’m the opposite, I think we’ve actually had a fairly moderate Summer overall. I remember the drought years when it was normal to get a run of 35+ for a few days in a row, and at least several 40+ days through Jan and Feb. This year we have had none.

I meant now is hotter than it ever got through the middle of this particular summer! You're right, it has definitely been milder than past ones which might be why I'm really feeling it now. I've been pretty grateful not to have had those days of heatwaves.

I'm inclined to agree. Summer has been relatively mild.
