I think what we consider a "heat wave" in Canada would be thought of as a cool evening in some places

32C - 35C is a cool evening there. Daytime highs are reaching 40C - 45C. If you live in a cardboard shack with no water, and you've been on the construction site all day, there just is no respite.

And some forward thinking person wants the World Cup in Qatar, where daytime temps can reach 50C.

I'm sure Ramadan has nothing to do with this.

So Ramadan is responsible for the 1000's of deaths in India too?

Yeah, but that's a dry heat.

Dry heat will burn you in and out factor X2. Vegas has been roasting and when outside it's like breathing in a furnace turned all the way up and being french roasted at the stake. I'll take it any-day over humid triple's. Lots of err naked sites atm in Vegas too

You're seriously doing this just to irritate me. No one can possibly be as illiterate as you pretend to be.

He's clearly posting from a smart phone and per the current standards of our society one is exempted from all normal expectations when employing one of those infernal devices.
