Here in the Keys, we’ve had a heat index of 105 for many days in a row. Just checked my youngest daughter’s weather in Dunedin (Tampa area); the heat index is currently 108. The humidity is stifling.

Tough on this boomer living on a boat w/o AC but the water and a swim are ten seconds away. Continue to think positive……I’m positive it’s hot!
