A couple of years back it hit 45C = 113F and our weather people issued a rare red alert and advised us all to stay indoors and not travel.

Yeah, we had the same thing a few years ago too. We topped out around 47C=116.6F during the worst of it. It was so hot, the blinds at our old place were starting to melt and wound up being completely warped from it. Built in AC isn’t really a thing here, and we don’t have a portable AC unit either, so all we could do to protect ourselves from it was cover the windows with thick blankets to block out all light/sun. Thankfully because the skies were clear and humidity generally isn’t a problem, the temperature would come down a lot at night so we could open all the doors and windows, turn the fans on full blast, and do what we could to cool down the place as much as possible during the night before closing everything up again before the sun started to rise. 
I’m really susceptible to heat exhaustion and will get supremely sick if I’m not careful, so I spent almost the entire time with my feet in cold water and I had a rotation of damp dresses in our freezer so I always had something cold to wear. I also exclusively did the dishes by hand and in cold water during it too

It's sprinkling rain right now ~ the temps gotten way better too. The last weekish it's been like 90F at this time of night but right now it's only 73F and I can handle that.

85F. I saw what looked like thunderstorm clouds a few hours ago and heard some light rain but only lasted a few minutes now it's mostly sunny outside.
