That's below our normal average temperature for the summer. This year, he had three weeks of temperatures between 38º (at night) and above 40 (max achieved, 47ºC) during the day, with no fucking thermal amplitude. I know, because I went mountain biking everyday, waited until the evening and still had to bear temperatures of 40ºC during four hours. I could feel my body complaining of the excessive effort, since with no natural refrigeration the body starts to shiver and you start having headaches.

These kind of temperatures are unbearable to many people, for the reason Edi said.
