However, before anyone could dwell on it, the extreme heat apocalypse descended.
[BEEP! The Extreme Heat Cataclysm has arrived.]
It was the same mechanical voice. A voice Sue Lawrence swore she had heard when the extreme cold apocalypse descended.
'What, does it make an announcement every time a disaster hits?'
Sue Lawrence didn't understand the point. The announcement came as the cataclysm was already happening, giving them no time to prepare.
Then, the temperature, which had been holding steady around twenty-three or twenty-four degrees Celsius, suddenly changed.
Temperature: Twenty-six degrees Celsius.
Temperature: Twenty-eight degrees Celsius.
Temperature: Twenty-nine degrees Celsius.
Temperature: Thirty degrees Celsius.
At first, it was a slow climb. People only gradually began to feel the heat.
Thirty degrees Celsius wasn't unbearable, but the heat was definitely noticeable.
The base activated more ventilation systems, and people felt some relief.
