"It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Except in America in 2023, it's both. I'm glad I don't look at the heat index, but where I live, we have been relatively lucky in that the mercury hasn't gone above 100 yet. I can tell you a couple of things- if you live in a two story home, you must either put a separate thermostat on the second floor, or else sleep downstairs. I sleep downstairs, even though I have a separate AC unit upstairs. And I have yet to turn on my AC. I can imagine everything upstairs is melted, but I haven't checked.
107 here today in suburban Houston, with a heat index of 118.
