the most heated scenes of my life, a list

40 degrees Celsius in a small Californian town. We try to cool down by dipping ourselves into a very shallow river.

A sauna by the lakeside, with two old women. It's not far off a hundred degrees Celsius, and very humid. Dipping into the cool lake afterwards is heavenly.

The sauna by the public swimming pool. A woman pours several buckets of water onto the stove, creating great clouds of lethally hot steam, then leaves. The rest of us are left gasping for air.
