Journal / Hot Elsewhere

oh, just to let you know, my ‘it’s insanely hot in nyc’ post was in no way intended to make light of the insane heat in just about every other city in the u.s and canada.
i hear tell that almost every little square inch of north america west of the rockies is sweltering.
i’d be curious to hear from any european tourists who happen to be in nyc/d.c/philly/chicago/toronto/etc right now. any thoughts on this?
cos boy oh boy it’s quite intense.
