「暑い日」を英語で

I was preparing some teaching materials today, and I came across a sentence that described today's weather pretty well.

• It's a scorcher today. 今日は焼け付くように暑い。(example from Eijiro on the Web)

It may have been hot, but the sunset was a beautiful one. The sky went golden. I enjoyed looking at it for about five minutes until I went back inside because it was still too hot.

The three-day weekend was a scorcher, too. I went running on Sunday afternoon, not expecting it to be so hot. 45 minutes later, I was dripping wet.

• enjoy the three-day weekend 3連休を楽しむ (definition from Eijiro on the Web)

What advice do you have for sweltering heat?

• sweltering heat うだる［地獄の］ような暑さ (definition from Eijiro on the Web)

I wish there was a better alternative, but the most practical thing I know to do right now is to sit directly under the air conditioner vent. Watch out for heat stroke!

• heat stroke 熱射病 (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
