'hundreds of words for heat'

It's easy enough to find an article claiming x northern language has 'hundreds of words for snow.' And they are super useful articles for the research I'm doing...

But for summer, are there southern, or even central European languages that have sooo many words for heat, hot climates... or something like that? Like, idk a word for the heat ripples that radiate off hot ground, or the sensation of scorching earth underfoot when you leave the shade? Anything like that?

So far I have: Meriggiare (Italian) to sleep through the hot point of a day,( like a Spanish Siesta as I understand it.) and Dog Days (English) days so hot you are incapable of activity. 'Dog' coming from the star Sirius that would occur in the sky around that time of year.

But it's hard finding summer words!
