We don't know where OP's father lives so it's kinda hard to think of 34° as anything particularly remarkable without any context. It's 41° where I am right now.
Well, much of the world does live in areas where 34 degrees Celsius are genuinely problematic and where homes are not suited to providing decent living conditions.
The fact that you don't immediately consider that temperature a problem given your personal circumstances doesn't mean that you should assume that it's not a problem for them. Your comment made it seem like you were trying to make light of it.
Where I live, 34 degrees is well past the point where we'd get major national emergency warnings from the government warning of the danger that the current heat poses. I'm curious how people in your area deal with 41 degrees though, that sounds brutal to me personally. I assume it'd at least be a low humidity heat?
Yes, it's very dry where I am.
My thought isn't that 34° is (or isn't) a problem, rather that without knowing where it is it doesn't really mean very much. If OP is in Dubai or northern Mexico or something then 🤷♀️ 34 sounds pretty normal. I just think the post would make more sense with some context.
It's always 34° somewhere in the world.
