One thing I learned while living in Germany was that when it gets hot, you don't turn on a fan... you soak it up while it lasts because it's fleeting and cold and gray for most of the year.
Drink water, check on neighbors, don’t leave animals outside, water trees with soaker hose for an hour, be safe. Morning and later evening hours will be cooler than mid day so it’s a good idea to stay inside or in cooler areas.
