I think it was last year, we had some hysteria in the British press about how some houses were spontaneously combusting because of the extreme heat. That's odd, I thought, because I spent part of my childhood in the (extremely hot) desert of Southern Iran. Temperatures on one memorable occasion went up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 Celsius) and yet I don't recall any buildings suddenly going up in flames as a result. So I checked my childhood town on Google. Sure enough, it was 39 Celsius that day (still pretty hot) but no mention of the town spontaneously combusting then, or at any other time in the past 100 years. What nonsense they spout; but they can't fool everybody.

Which color do they intend to use when temperatures get higher than normal?
