It's too darn hot and the humidity is adding to it

About a half of all English words is considered to come from Latin. Usually, you can be almost sure that a word has a Latin origin when it consists from three and more syllables. Well, some words also came from Czech, like robot or dollar. Moreover, the Czech comminity living in the USA “messed up” English with some Czech names. Stumbling across the name Jakubicka from California, USA, made me wonder where this person is coming from. Sound so Czech. But there was no surprise. She writes about herself: “My story is classic. Boy meets girl as an exchange student, they become friends. He goes home (to Sweden), girl stays (in the US). Boy and girl stay in touch, fall in love, live together in Sweden, have kids, move to to the US.” OK, but would you mind telling me how the Americans pronounce this “Czech” name?
She wrote in her blog yesterday:

I'm melting
Those that know me well know I love the heat. We picked one of the hotter regions of California for that reason, however the recent hot spell has shown me my limit. 112 F (44.5 C) is where I draw the line, especially when we got humidity in the double digits. Sacramento usually gets only 8-9% humidity but we've got 30% now I am dying. They have warnings here for people not to go outside because with the humidity it's more like 115 (46).

“Those that know me well know I love the heat.” – a pretty simple sentence but still a bit tricky without punctuation. Would it be better this way: Those / that know me well / know / I love the heat. – Ti, kteří mě dobře znají, vědí, že mám ráda horko.

“We picked one of the hotter regions of California for that reason, however the recent hot spell has shown me my limit.” – Zvolili jsme si kvůli tomuto důvodu jednu ze žhavějších oblastí Kalifornie, nicméně současné horké období mi ukázalo mé meze.

spell = a short period of time during which something lasts, often used when we speake about weather = období
There will be rain at first with sunny spells later.

“112 F (44.5 C) is where I draw the line, especially when we got humidity in the double digits.” – 122 Fahrenheita je, kde jsem si stanovila mez, zvláště když máme vlhkost ve dvojčíslí (vyjádřenou dvojčíslím).

draw a line (in the sand) = to set a limit = stanovit meze, doslova nakreslit čáru do písku (IDIOM)
If we don't draw a line in the sand, here and now, the next time may be too late.

“Sacramento usually gets only 8-9% humidity but we've got 30% now I am dying.” - Sacramento má obvykle jen 8-9% vlhkosti, ale my teď máme 30%, já umírám. (nebo - ale my máme 30%, teď umírám)

Notice three tenses in one short sentence:
“Sacramento usually gets…” – present simple (constant situation)
“but we've got 30% now…” – present perfect (from some point in the past till now)
„…I am dying.” – present continuous (just now)

“They have warnings here for people not to go outside because with the humidity it's more like 115 (46).” – Měli tady varování pro lidi, aby nechodili ven, s tou vlhkostí je to víc jako 115 (46).




Looking at the thermometer and the humidity we also have it in the double digits. No one needs to envy... Anyway, do you know this song by Albert Hammond:



Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Yes, I am afraid we are going to face some pouring. We will sing along with Gerri Halliwell at first...

Humidity’s rising
Barometer's getting low
According to all sources
The street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.

...and then we will learn again what terrible floods are like.
