Yeah, it's 103F (39C) in my back yard as I write this, which is 5F lower than yesterday - it's pretty awful. Those temps actually aren't terribly abnormal for the middle of the summer here in the US Southern California valley I live in, but normally the humidity is barely double digits and it's currently 47 percent, which makes a giant difference in discomfort. They say that the warmer ocean temps (I'm 20 miles from the coast) are making it so the air holds a lot more moisture. I grew up here and the difference between when I was young and recent years of staggering.
