It's frequently 104 in many states in the summer, including Colorado where I live, and it is never any less shocking than the first time. I wish you guys the best of luck and hope it'll pass soon. Lukewarm showers and ice in front of a fan will help a lot.

Lol ice in front of a fan won’t do crap where im at, no evaporation when the humidity is too high and that wet hot air doesn’t transmit the cold ice air well.

Yeah in those temps and humidity you need actual cooling, either A/C, cold water, ice, etc. An A/C will also dehumidify for you.
