Your brains are cooking inside your skulls!

Stay safe, people. Drink plenty of water, have water with you if you go outside, do not exert yourselves too much when you go out, try to stay in the shade, wear sunscreen, etc.

Heat like this will kill you if you let it. Stand your ground against it by staying indoors, at the Olive Garden, in the smoking section.
