Re: Heatwave warning?
Up here to the east of you, it's now 36c and only 17% humidity.
Using the Heat Index thingy that Lynnxa uses it should feel 2 degrees colder than that!
I wish!

Re: Heatwave warning?
I'm with jojojojojo & JnK - I don't reckon this year's anything like as hot as last year, and also it's been much more hazy. OH blames the volcano. May be right!
I didn't think you were contradicting, and you were right. I heard a warning on M80 radio yesterday and OH heard the same in the bar this morning. Ain't misunderstandings over the ether a frustrating phenomenon! So it's a sorry from him and a sorry from me!.
I'd agree on the colder end... body thermometer changes over time once you've been here past about a year, I reckon. I shivered a couple of times during the past week, and had the duvet one night
Don't agree about 30-plus being hot, though. 35 plus for me. And yes, humidity's draining. I recall 98 & 99% in Buenos Aires

Re: Heatwave warning?
The wind has now increased significantly to around 20mph from the west and the temperature has just gone over 38c (at 7pm) and the humidity is still only 17%.
It's OK in the pool but when you get out it's like stepping into a fan oven. It takes about 30 seconds to dry off!

no sooner than I step away from the fan or out of the aircon I start to wonder why I bothered showering again!
it's only about 30 here at the moment - but with 66% humidity it apparently feels like 32
now 32 isn't hot in the scheme of things -but it's just so sticky that it actually felt cooler in the bar with ceiling fans than sitting outside!

Re: Heatwave warning?
Don't worry Lynnxa
It looks like it might rain up your way tomorrow.
That might cool it down a tad but it won't do a lot for the humidity!

Re: Heatwave warning?
we had a major storm with flooded streets last night - this morning humidity was up to 88%
I was complaining to some Spanish friends & they painfully explained to me that rain+high temps/hot ground effectively = steam = higher humidity
logical when you think about it!
it was a bit cooler while it was actually raining though
