"A South African gentleman once told me that New York in August was hotter than any place he knew in Africa,"
Not sure about Africa since I have not been there yet but definitely it is comparable to some really hot parts of the world in NYC currently (100 degrees outside).
- claudius 13y ago37 °C is, while hot, not the maximum for Germany and the rest of central/southern Europe. It tends to be relatively dry, though, especially if one goes further east (Berlin, e.g.). Given how far north Europe is, I would expect ‘really hot parts’ to be, well, hotter :)

- nutjob123 13y ago100 isn't the max for NYC, just happens to be the temperature right now.
- revelation 13y agoNotice that air conditioning is really rare in Germany; usually only businesses have them in select locations.
- claudius 13y agoI don’t know a single home with air conditioning, even in cars/trains it only became popular within the past ten years or so.
