What is the temperature in your area?

[Chianti]

Ciao

I'm in Umbria, where it's 90f and climbing. I find it difficult, but can't imagine what it might be like further south & wondering if it's the same sort of temperature in the north?

Regards

It's a cool 26C at 19.00 hours! ...but this afternoon it must have been in the 30's! Next week we have a forecast of 30-35C all week.

Don't think I'll need to bring my cardi then BP?

Yesterday afternoon in the Algarve:

Temperature of Pool: 27c (no covers, no heating !)
Temperature inside Villa: 29c
Temperature in direct sun: 45c

Sounds idyllic, but we have holidaymakers in nearby Villa with two young girls.

Bless em, they're having a wondeful time, and the girls are really enjoying themselves, so I'm not complaining, but can anyone explain the chemical reaction that causes young girls under 10 having fun to scream c o n t i n u o u s l y

Chemical reaction: estrogen + excitement = screaming

This is why I am so glad I had three boys. Although there are some equally annoying habits with boys, mostly in the toilet area!

Testosterone + excitement = don't ask!!

I hate to say this, but unless my memory is playing tricks it doesn't stop at 10!

Screaming and giggling girls, I can handle; I used to find my son bringing his mates home for tea (between the ages of about 7 and 11) because all they wanted to do was run about with sticks shouting and throwing things - don't mind too much about that if you can chuck em out in the garden but indoors it used to drive me mad.. and fighting over the sofa and rolling on the floor...


I'm sooooo glad he's grown up now... although now we have him 'fighting' on the sofa with girlfriend.. not real fighting I hasten to add but roly-poly fighting, tickling, giving eachother wedgies etc...but generally still mayhem...but I can handle that more than the running about with sticks.

35 C here in Piemonte and set to get hotter in the next few days. Nothing for it - just have to sit at the pool with a good book and accept it!

Don't have one, best I can do to keep cool is a wet T-shirt, but at least it's dry heat !!!!!

I have such sympathy for my friends in Athens

What is the temperature in your area?

Just about what it usually is at this time of the year. Some places are warmer and others are cooler but here it's perfect.

Hi

33C (91F) today. Feels warm, but we normally have 35+ in July.

Here we have very low humidity - often less than 25% - which makes it more comfortable.

We wouldn't expect anything less

Hmm

Summer is rapidly arriving. 35C today, same forecast for tomorrow.

Hope we don't get this again (from 2003) :

Ah but Peter - your humidity is at a very comfortable 14 degrees
try living in 95 degree humidity..a.k.a. wet world. 3 changes of clothes in a day...and keeping underwear in the fridge

Phew!
