We've had temps in the upper 90s in DC for weeks. Add 75%+ relative humidity to your heat, my Saudi friend, and then come talk to me... We have a funny little calculation in the states called the "heat index", or more correctly the "misery index" that puts us well into the triple digits most of August. Lovely. But I digress.

My 124 touches 90 degrees operating temp most of the hot season, with or without the a/c running. My a/c's ok, but then again I have the wagon with lots more cubic feet to cool, and lots more glass. I think a sedan with a well maintained climate control system should keep you nice and cool, even in your 127 degree heat. Others with sedans will need to weigh in on this one.

P.S. I'll trade weather with you until about September 15th, ok?
