Yes, the record dry heat is 38.8C congratulations, we're on a gigantic lake, which has been putting up the temperature by about 10C when calculated as the humidex. For the past 6 weeks we've been hitting an average of about 38C on the humidex. Obviously you're in some miracle location where humidity doesn't have any bearing on heat, we are. The city of Hamilton has been doing a large campaign for the past few months (until everyone got distracted by where to put the tigercats stadium and no one cares about lead in the water anymore) on how to deal with lead in the supply lines to many houses, and have currently got no plan on what to do. They're considering changing the makeup of the water so that it doesn't leach lead out of the existing lines (note the levels of lead are upon entering the system are safe, not necessarily exiting the system). There's a big concern, because a lot of houses only have about 2ft of exposed lead piping, normally well concealed, for the homeowner to know they have a lead supply line or not. They're currently offering a $2000 loan to cover the cost of replacing your private lines (on the inside of your house) which is woefully insufficient to say the city provided the original supply lines, and then they'll cover the work to replace the private line that connects to the municipal line (IE everything outside of your house, much of which is well below city property in the downtown areas this concerns).
