Hey, David, have you seen the weather today? It musts be at least 30°C out there! It’s so hot!

David:

I think you mights be right about the sunscreen. I must been careful too.  But it won’t should be this hot in October. This weather is weird!

It’s definitely strange. But I guess it shall be worse. Last year, it was even hotter! At least it’s not snowing yet.
