Spanish term or phrase: muertos de calor
En una carta, quisiera una expresión coloquial parecida a 'muertos de calor', quiere decir que hace muchísimo calor, pero quiero traducir con una frase equivalente. No quiero poner es ist sehr warm por ejemplo, sino una expresión.

Acá estamos muertos de calor aunque estamos...

Gracias desde ya.
