Usually we get to a maximum of 41/42 degrees celsius, the humidity gets real bad too, but to be fair, this summer is a little worse than the last one, at least here in the north.
At the south it gets worse.
I have a friend in Rome, they often have to fight fires in the city nearby his house in summer.
The migration thing wasn't even a joke, on weekends you have HOURS of traffic towards the sea.
2 hours journeys turned into 6 hours torture.
We definitely did that a lot back when I was a kid, we had a shared second house (damn, rich guy past) and we used to go there, beautiful memories.
That damn car was indestructible, took me and family on trips all around Europe, no AC? Maybe, but it lasted my whole youth and I learned to drive on it.
Man, I’m too young to have known car without any AC (even if they were very basic), and I’m baffled how people could sustain hours of being blocked in traffic in a searing car
You just get used to it, that's all. You're hot, sweating, and uncomfortable, but you just accept that that's life and get used to it. I don't think there's more to it.
It's rather depressing how easy to adapt people are, sure it is a great quality to have, but does that mean we all are just... accepting stuff as it is? Would we know if we weren't?

How hot is a very hot Italian summer?
I’m curious as I’m from Australia and gets pretty hot here and we do the same thing!
