JISHOU, HUNAN — Forget all my complaints about living in Kenticky’s heat. Mid afternoon temperatures here had been consistently in the mid-90s for the last two weeks. Today the mercury hit 100°F.
It’s hotter elsewhere, like 104°F in Wuhan and Changsha, but after a certain point a few extra degrees is irrelevant. It’s hot and humid, and unlike Kentucky, we don’t get afternoon thunderstorms to provide some relief.
But, you know, I’m not complaining. A quarter century of living in Kentucky prepared me for this kind of weather. And my apartment has air conditioning. So, no worries.
