The summer so far had been good. Nice temperatures in which it was easy to work and play. But then the heat arrived. One day it was about 22 (72 F) degrees, the next day it had shot up to 32 (93 F)!
That in itself isn't so bad of course. As long as the airconditioning on the bus works and you can cool down once you're home, you are laughing. However, the first is meh at the moment due to having to open the doors all the time and it just being a bit much for the whole thing. The second is even worse: our inside temperature at the moment is over 30 degrees (87 F).

From the weekend onwards rain and cooler weather is due to arrive. Yes please!!
Oh I feel for you with the heat! Last summer we had a week of days over 40C and it was so horrible. You just can't make yourself do anything. Hopefully it will cool down soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's just that we are not used to it. The photo at the bottom of the post was taken in Italy back in the early '90's. There it was over 40 degrees as well, but we had gotten used to it gradually. Over here it just comes like a sledgehammer!
DeleteMara the weather all over has just been purely topsy turvy...heat where it isn't usually, tornadoes, monsoons...YIKES 2020 is a year that just keeps on sending uninvited visitors.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you

ReplyDeleteA tiny bit of the heat is finally reaching North to the Bonny Land. 24'C today. It won't last but am loving it for now. The storm last night not so much... I do hope you don't melt away though. I like your ether company!!! YAM xx
24? That sounds like bliss. For the next week, the night temperatures are still in the low 20's. Ah well, this will pass. And then we will moan about the rain most likely...
DeleteWe have long stretches here where the temps are high and the humidity is oppressive. Thankfully we have AC in our house. We don't know how you live without it.
ReplyDeleteWe've had some scorchers here too lately. We say, if it's not snow and ice, we'll take it! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteWelcome the cool weather that is coming! We will be 101 degrees by Friday.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a steamy summer here, and the AC (the other one.😀 ) has been working overtime.
ReplyDelete87 in the Netherlands ? That's the boiling point nearly so you should be half cooked. As only Americans still use the Fahrenheit thing, I always write in Celius. Anyway we had much more ! Yesterday up to 38 ! We bought an air cooler that's a great thing not so expensive, it absorbs the hot air which goes through a filter with cold water and is ventilated into the room, or on you ! There are already big once from 89 € on. At least then it was bearable !! With my friends we go into the Lunchgarden for ice and coffee and sit there in the cool nice place for 23 h and chat !!
ReplyDeleteI find attempts to sleep in temps above 21 C leaves my un-rested.
