Oh well .. how wrong can you be!

http://www.aemet.es/es/eltiempo/prediccion/avisos

it does say 'riesgo importante' for today - but then cooling down

There is an orange warning out for Malaga today, particularly in Guadalhorce.

It will be the Terral wind blowing again.

It`s only 31c here today, but hot as hell, sweat was dripping off me hair and down me neck, possibly high humidity causing a heat increase.

& that's where the danger lies

dd just cycled to the supermarket for me - I should have checked the heat index before she went

34 degrees + 71% humidity = a heat index of 47.3

she's back safe & sound & in the pool

I saw several heat warnings on Spanish TV this morning. My thermometer is obviously busted, it shows 48 degrees and the pool one has gone off the scale.

I somehow think it might not be busted

altho its hot, I dont think its been as hot as last summer - well not yet anyway!???

Here in the Valencian region, it's been far hotter than last year already. We recorded 42.5 back in July and that's on a shaded patio! Today it's 39 at the moment but VERY very humid.

I agree, last year was much hotter for much longer around here too.

I was not contradicting you, more agreeing.

Although I wrongly thought you were indicatiing that temperatures were going to rise over the next few days.

Been in the garden and it`s 35c and 47 humidity, 39.5 and the breeze is like a hair dryer.

It´s a pleasant 26 degrees up here...

..couldn´t cope with the heat down south myself...hope you can all keep cool somehow.
