Stifling

Respite From boiling sun Stealing my breath from me My heart pounds as the heat drains me Perspiration drips onto the hot ground I sit quiet and dream of a breeze Dark clouds gather above Perhaps by night Respite

We are now in the middle of winter, and it is too cold outside to experience what you have described above. However, you have described it well with your wording. This is a good rictameter.
