past bearing

[pars]

Hi!
What is the exact meaning of the bold idiom?
The summer heat of this Island (Hormuz in Persian Gulf) is almost past bearing.
Thanks very much.

It's almost too much to bear.

I would not call "past bearing" an idiom.

Also, do not say "bold idiom" as that makes it seem that you are describing the phrase. Instead, say "words in bold".

Where is the sentence from?
It is common to say "the heat is unbearable".
