The trouble was that once the bottle was half-full, it heated up rather quickly, and even the evaporation cooling wasn't much. *Traitor*, n.

Of course, this isn't 42C ... hot days this summer have topped out around 35C (much hotter, of course, inside the truck for the unloaders on the box line), but the humidity is certainly well over the 5% mark ... when I'm beginning to sweat at 0530 and the mists in the pre-dawn light show that its near 100% humidity, I know its going to be a fun day in the warehouse.
