It's hot!!

Hi folks,
Could you think of any interesting phrases or idioms to decribe the extreme heat of this summer?

hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk?

"90 degrees in the shade", "a scorcher",

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
from The Lovin' Spoonful

That old favorite:

Hotter than the hinges of hell. Variation: hotter than the brass hinges of hell.

And a few adapted from This Dog'll Really Hunt: An Entertaining Texas Dictionary by Wallace O. Chariton (Wordware Publishing, Piano, Texas, 1989, 1990):

So hot the chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.
So hot my boots are blistered.
So hot the corn's popping on the stalk.
Hot as hell's door handle.
Hot as hell with the blower on.
Hot as the devil's roasting fork.
Hot enough to sunburn a horned toad.
Hot enough to make hell look like an ice planet.
Hot as a depot stove.
Hot enough to boil spit on the sidewalk.
