The summer 2020
There is a Brazilian song that says: summer is coming, a heat in the heart…
That’s what we are facing in this very hot summer this year.
The average temperature in São Paulo in summer is 26, 28 degrees Celsius, but now the average temperature is about 32, 34 degrees Celsius.
And as a consequence it’s too hard to sleep on such hot nights.
On public transport is also too hard because here just 35 percent of the fleet has air conditioning.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the thermometers mark 30 degrees.
Now imagine, after a day of work get into a in the full bus, without air conditioning with internal temperature reaching 35 degrees! It’s not easy!
But I feel sorry for those who work in the street like postmen, hawk, cops, bus drivers etc.
Even it’s hard for animals. In Rio de Janeiro two dogs died because of the heat.
Now we have to wait until the end of February, when forecasters predict that the heat will give a truce.

The summer 2020
There is a Brazilian song that says: summer is coming, a heat in the heart…
That’s what we are facing in(or during) this very hot summer this year.

On public transport is also too hard uncomfortable[1] because (here,)[2] just 35 percent of the fleet has air conditioning.

[1] "too hard" can't be used here because it is not describing action. You would need to say something like "public transit is too hard to bear"
[2] you can omit "here", but you would need a comma(,) after it to make it sound more natural.
[3] in the USA, anything after 6pm would be evening
[4] I'm not sure to what profession you are referring? A hawk is a kind of bird.
[5] "truce" is an agreement between two parties, so it doesn't work in this context. The change in weather could "give us a break" or "bring us some relief"
