Going and cooling off in the Ganges or Yamuna River is not a pleasant thought, either. Lest I be accused of being nationalistically discriminatory, the Chicago River or Ohio River ain't that great either.

If onw shoes stick to the street, one should probably not go crossing the street and seek ways to cool down. Just a thought.
Public service: 30C = 86F, which I think is quite moderate!
Of course, where I am (San Francisco Bay area) does not normally contend with high humidity. I do recall being in 85F and 100% humidity during a business trip many decades ago in Virginia, and it was horrid.
Back then white shirts and ties were customary business attire, and I recalled exiting the hotel to my rental car, and all of the creases which had been carefully pressed into the shirt almost immediately vanished during the short walk to the car.
Today's weather forecast for Phoenix Arizona is 118F or 48C, 10% humidity

And there are my memories of LA air from about 45 years ago... if you sliced it and chewed it, it was less painful than taking a breath.If you can walk in it instead of on it, it is still classified as a river. Health considerations are something else again.
'Just like Chicago - stark, cloudless skies. 'Course, not nearly as hot.In Southern California we now have to deal with boring cloudless days day after day. Where has the rain gone?
I'gotta get away and get to where you are - wherever that is....Our local temperate rainforest is very happy so far this year. Weeks of drizzling rain, fresh snow on higher peaks, fall mushrooms popping up, and deciduous trees that haven’t quite greened up yet.
Nope...no problem with heat.
Although in continental Europe especially southern Europe have been experiencing super hot temperatures recently, thankfully in Britain since the beginning of July we have had torrential rain almost every day .
Are you putting it off, or braving conditions? 'Specially in places from Arizona up to Montana - anywhere else....
Good to hear you're still at it, and motorcycle + mountains = Fun Fun Fun!!!....and I’m still out running 25 miles/week or so, usually in the mornings but sometimes early evenings...
…Reassessed my goals and have dropped the 50 Km dream and will run about the amount you are, where fitness is good and can push out a respectable (in my 60+ age group world!) 1/2 marathon trail race whenever the opportunity pops up.….
So that brought you in under 30:00 in the 5K? Hope I have legs like that in my 70'sI’ve done two full marathons and have that curiosity out of my system. My wife and did halfs together but due to recent back surgery she’s transitioned to walking and I’m not motivated to do another half. I still have lots of 5Ks and 10Ks though. Yesterday I ran a 5K race and placed first in my age group, 70+, on a 9:33 pace. In November I’m headed to Pittsburgh, PA for a 10-miler through that city.
When it come to weather, I’m not a fan of heat but it doesn’t slow down my photography, however, our Montana winters do. While I run outside here all year, when it’s down to -5 degrees F I’ll still run but less likely to take out a camera.
