Anonymous what is the meaning of "caught a heat wave"I read "caught" as "encountered."
"To catch" is a slang expression here. "Catch some Z's" "Catch some rays."
The two I cite are deliberate -- something you do on purpose.
In your original, your encounter with the heat wave would be inadvertent. "I caught a snag."

Could you possibly mean "Caught in a heatwave", meaning that a particular area is subject to an ongoing (and perhaps abnormal) spell of very hot weather?

Ouch! It never occurred to me that the poster might not know what a heat wave is! Thanks!
(I"m assuming the grammar would be similar to "In the afternoon we often caught a thunderstorm."
-- It wasn't something we set out to do.)
