Would a swamp cooler work for you? Much less expensive to purchase and
operate compared to conventional A/C.

40°C+ is hardly exciting, in fact totally debilitating. At the moment
our house doesn't even cool below 30°C at night. The pitched roof
houses the mines built here are totally unsuited to the Lowveld
climate with that huge mass of hot air above the ceiling (very nice in
"winter", mind you). Flat roofed houses like those in the Middle East
& Mexico would be much better. Unfortunately, Aircons are too
expensive to run for hours on end so we have to make do with fans. It
would probably be better to sleep outside under a mosquito net. A
couple of good rain storms would help a lot but they never seem to get
here. Just heard there is a cyclone in the Mozambique Channel so we
may be lucky yet.

New York is so boring - just normal winter temps - 35° F (for those of
you who care I researched to find that ALT 248 = °. I love alt codes)
However, the extra strong wind gusts predicted today may lift us out of
the ordinary..
some scary stuff in California -

That's 55degrees Centigrade (131 in Funnymoney) so he decided to wait
until
evening.
Here, it's dead normal February weather. ~0degrees, leaden skies (for
weeks,
seemingly) and perpetual drizzle/sleet. I think I need vitamin D
injections.

It was 80 deg F here in Raleigh today. That's 5 deg higher than the old

Normal High temperatures for February are around 54 deg F.
Temps are falling off now. It should be 40 deg overnight.
By Wednesday they're calling for a high of 52 deg F, more like regular
temperatures, but they're also calling for it to be back up to 70 deg F
by the weekend.
I just don't know what to think.
