Learn the English Phrases I'M BOILING and HEAT WAVE - A Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in this English lesson,

I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, I'm boiling.

Sometimes we also say, I'm boiling hot.

So when water gets to 100 degrees Celsius, it boils.

So we used the word, boil or boiling,

to describe how hot we are or how hot it is.

It's a bit of an exaggeration.

It's really hot here in Ontario, Canada right now.

So I could say that when I'm outside I'm boiling.

Or I could say, I'm boiling hot.

It's so hot outside.

I could say, it's boiling hot outside.

So, we kind of exaggerate a bit

because it's not 100 degrees Celsius here.

But we use the word boil or boiling

to describe how hot the weather is.

Yesterday I worked outside in the heat of the afternoon

and it was boiling hot.

When I came in, I said, "I'm boiling hot.

"It is so hot outside right now."

Do you want to know how hot it is?

It's only about 31 degrees Celsius.

I know for some of you that's not very hot.

But it is here.

Because we are in the middle of a heat wave.

It is going to be over 32 degrees every day

for the next couple of days and it was over 30 degrees

yesterday as well.

So when we have a series of days in a row

where it's very very hot, we call it a heat wave.

I know again for some of you

who live in really hot countries

that doesn't sound very hot.

But for us here in Canada, where we normally

like it fairly cool, that is pretty hot for us.

So, right now it is boiling hot outside

and I'm boiling.

Because we are in the middle of a heat wave.

That is going to last probably until Sunday I think.

I think today's Friday.

Yesterday, so Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

we are going to be over 30 degrees.

I think when Monday comes it will cool down a bit.
