"The maximum we've ever recorded here in Merida is 125º," said Temo, our guide. "Today must be in the 90s."
The folks who made the 8 hour bus journey to Chetchen Itza survived two hours in 104º or 42º C. The bus air conditioner could barely handle such heat, consequently the long ride back was also uncomfortable.
On our city tour there were many places where the paving stones radiated like a heaters. We stood for several minutes inside a huge church with still hot air, while droplets dripped off our foreheads and ran down our backs. Way outside our comfort zone! The metal railing outside the church were too hot to hold.
