Just walked passed a pharmacy in Bastille and the sign outside was showing 38C
Not sure how accurate they are but it certainly feels it

Well that'll be heat reflecting off ground and buildings but accurate to what passers by are feeling.. A stadium with 80 000+ sweat soaked spectators is going to be a fun arena tonight!

The time is ticking closer. On the bright side, it will be one less game with Foster in charge by tomorrow.

Of which more than half will smell like garlic at the start of the game.

Now imagine that smell after 60 minutes in 30° temperature.
