Six Word Saturday:
That was one extremely hot week!
I’m still on holidays in my home town, I hadn’t expected to be here so long but I’m enjoying relaxing and catching up with family and friends. The sun has been shining fiercely and although I haven’t been spending much time outside my skin has tanned a little. We’ve had a heatwave this week and one newspaper headline says we are the hottest capital in the world. I drove past a cafe that has an electronic temperature display (photographed above), I stopped for a double take because it was over 45°C but by the time I got out of the car to take a photo it was down to 44.6°C – that’s 112°F – crazy hot! Thankfully the cool change has come in now and the garden is enjoying some rain this weekend.
Happy Saturday everyone!
happy saturday to you too – – and stay cool!
(and we have had it very frigid here… brrr )
Soon after this the temperature dropped again so it was quite pleasant
Phew .
Yep
I just wilt in hot weather! 45C is the highest temp I have ever experienced, and it was in Spain. I remember dragging terribly. A beach helps, and so does the joy of being at home with family and friends. Best wishes for the New Year, Georgia!
Oh yes, Spain was very hot too. I think it was easier in my hometown because I didn’t have to be out and about looking at things for only a limited time. And I could just put the air conditioner on 🙂
And our temps have been the opposite~below 0° Fahrenheit. Glad it is cooling down for you.
Aha, stay warm Mlissabeth
This side of the world has been hovering around -15F (ie -28C) for a week now. send some of yours our way, please.
Yikes! I can’t even imagine that kind of cold Ron, how are you managing?
Heavens! I vaguely remember hot 🙂
it will come back to you Jo
Those fires must have been too close for comfort!
Yes Rosemary, they were actually on the other side of town from where my folks live but still too close to home.
