Feeling the heat
If you’re feeling a little desiccated from the heat – the city’s hottest readings Thursday were registered in Tlaquepaque at 38 degrees Celsius (100.4F) – spare a thought for those poor souls in other parts of Jalisco state. According to the National Weather Service, residents in Bolaños, Santa Rosa, Amatitan, Cuixtla and San Cristobal de la Barranca were sweltering under 45 degrees Celsius (113F). So, Tapatios, no complaining please.
