Sister in law got me an Amazon "Dot" for Xmas. Since then being woken at 6AM by kids standing next to my bed shouting "Alexa! What's the weather today?!" has become a daily ritual
Damn you technology! Damn you all to hell!
Ew. That's just disgusting.

18 celsius/65 fahrenheit here lately, which i'm glad. When it was 25 celsius/77 fahrenheit it was much too hot IMO.

It rained so hard this morning on the way to work that I had to pull off of the highway because the windscreen wipers couldn't keep up and I couldn't see anything.

Ha, in New Jersey the accepted response to this situation is "just drive 5 mph slower"

Oh my gosh that situation absolutely sucks to be in and I'm glad you pulled over. I ran into this driving around LA and AL one summer and it was pretty frightening. Thankfully the worst of it passed quickly.
It's been a record breaking heatwave here. Consistently in the 80's and 90's but at least its a dry heat. The pool has been especially inviting the last few weeks as well and I've spent a bit of time in it.

The temperature dropped close to twenty degrees from yesterday and it's supposed to start raining for the rest of the day in a couple of hours.
Rain and high humidity today. The humidity is so high that my skin has a coating of moisture on it. It's absolutely nauseating how hot it feels.
Yuck.
Yuck.
Today was the first comfortable day all summer - low humidity and 5C below average rather than high humidity and several degrees above average. Of course, I have a list of indoor tasks as long as my arm that I have to accomplish today. It is supposed to stay nice all week, though, so I may get to enjoy it.

It got up to 42C/108F here on Friday. It was the hottest weather I'd ever felt. It didn't feel that nice, but I still took a 30 minute walk just to experience it. I felt like I was getting roasted in the heat. Unlike hobbsyoyo's experience, there was some humidity, and the heat index was 43C/111F. I found it pretty unpleasant. It's supposed to be around 33C/92F the rest of this week, which isn't bad so long as the humidity isn't too high. The good thing about Oklahoma is it's less humid than North Carolina.
It hit 100 today. 
It's been hot enough here that I've been getting headaches (something that happens to me during heat waves).
Thank goodness it's been raining every night.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today. 
Now, as the sun is setting, a dark cloud, blacker than the heart of Satan, creeps in. 
KAPOW--Onos wind!
This is TWICE in one week!

Given the choice between forest fires and rain, I'll take the rain.

Central Sweden, town bit north of Stockholm: Currently 31° Celsius in the shade.
Thank god for air-conditioning (23° C on the bottom floor, 29° upstairs, much too hot...)!
34° C last week, national heat record for the summer of 2018. Warnings it might get broken Thursday or Friday. (National heat record is from 1933, 38° C, from the same town.) Effectively no rain since May. Trees going brown and shedding leaves to preserve moisture. General comprehensive ban on any and all fires, everywhere, including private property (no barbecues this summer).
Greatest drought since the summer of 1955. Had this been in the 19th c. come winter the country would have starved. Farmers desperate to put down livestock before the feed runs out. Effectively no hay harvest at all for 2018. 6 month queues to the slaughterers.
Massive forest fires to the north and west, firefighters from Poland, Germany and France have joined. Planes and helicopters from Italy, France, Portugal, Norway and Lithuania have been called in to help. Talks of national emergency and actions in parliament to speed-process legislation to allow armed forces to step in.
No people injured (much less killed) in the fires, but some communities evacuated for weeks by now. Artwork removed from 11th c. church in at least one village to preserve it, if it turns out the fires cannot be contained.
