What is the weather like over there? How are you holding up in this heat?

Just checking in because the news keeps talking about how intense this heatwave is getting, and it sounds like a rough one in a lot of cities right now.
News has been talking about the dangerous heat across the central and eastern U.S., and Europe’s been getting hit hard too, with record temperatures and serious strains.
For anyone dealing with it, how are you getting through the worst of it? It feels like the kind of stretch where even normal daily stuff gets tougher than usual..
 
It is going to be in the mid-90’s here again today. It is not even 7AM here and we are already turning on the Ac in the front room. The humidity is at 90% right now, so even though it is not into the high 90’s here yet today, the air is almost too heavy to be able to breathe.
We have a small pool out in the back yard and that is what we do to keep cool in the heat, along with the window AC in the front room. Soaking in the pool really helps to cool our body down a lot, and I do’nt know what we would do without that.
We might have some rain coming in by this weekend, but that is a wait and see kind of a forecast.
 
It is miserable outside already this morning. Another day of extreme heat warning. It was 110 degrees yesterday and not much of a breeze outside neither. I think it is going to be a rinse repeat with the weather until next Monday. We try to stay in the house where it is cool.
 
I'm getting texts and emails with locations of "Cooling Centers" in the county. "Feels Like" temps of 107°F to 110°F through Sunday.
