[QUOTE=muletopia;1524703]We have dear friends who live in Victoria BC in an apartment without air conditioning. They have not replied to an email I sent them yesterday.
The city is ill prepared for this weather.


It seems very bad, I have just been reading an article for BC on the coroner report for one area. Average Friday-Monday death reporting is 110, they are at 233 and expecting more reports in. Below is a chart that shows the new highest temps, there are some ridiculous jumps in the new records.

Fingers crossed for your friends, hopefully the end for the heat wave is close.

Ps. Nice to have two damp t-shirts, keep one in the freezer and swap them around as required. Same again for tea towels to put around your neck, armpits and inside top thighs. Those places have fairly large surface blood veins/arteries and are the best spots to chill.
