Been hot up here in Wisconsin too. Hit 98.9 today and gonna be much the same tomorrow with even higher humidity.
Ai Bubba, and calling for 100+ just a little south of you. The only saving grace today (spoken by the FL boy), was only 28% humidity, even though it got to 101 based on the bank clock inland from the lake.

The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long
108 F here in Jamestown ND(by the TV runner)! My Wife and I went over to a friends house for dinner tonight and stopped in at the bottle shop for some wine to take to them. I was asked while I was there if the kilt was hot my reply was "no there's more circulation than shorts" and there was too.
Nice to know though that the clerk knew what she was looking at.

May all your blessings be the ones you want and your friends many and true.
Trust me, there are many types of heat besides absolute temp.
I've left 110 California returning to Atlanta, Georgia and all people did is complain of 90s Atlanta and how unbearable it is.
Colorado is also Hot but dry. It will wipe you out by dehydaration and you not know it.
Yet, down here. 95 will make you pour sweet in minutes, doing NOTHING.
(all temp F, I'm not sure of C conversion)
In my retail job, I must wear pants (usually jeans). I am AMAZED at how much hotter jeans are than a thick wool kilt, especially when I change from one to another. The jeans feel like a denim sauna!!
Today (off)-> I stayed INSIDE as much as possible, yet STILL sweated buckets getting few things done outdoors and playing with my kids.
I would not advise an 8 yard 16oz for summer daywear down here.
4 yard box pleats, however, are as good as shorts and look more impressive.
