The one I always heard was that it was hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement (= sidewalk). At the other extreme: It’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. ---

I’ve always enjoyed the colloquialism, which in no way fits to this thread’s motif, but fuck it, is … Chrissakes, it’s hot enough in here to breed sheep. I don’t even really know what it means, but I like it. ---
