Heat wave

[Buckman]

Woke up this morning and it was -4C, but has shot up to 4C and the sun is shining. A massive jump in temperature. Seems we are in for a heat wave over the next 2 -3 days. Hooray!

My youngest chid has her birthday today. (52). She and her husband picked us up and took us to Weston for the day. Absolutely beautiful. See for yourselves.







Even quite a few brave people swimming!

My brother texted me to tell me that it was 34C and they only have an air con in their bedroom. Cape Town does usually get that hot, but it is a dry heat and very low humidity.

Personally I find it's often high humidity which makes temperatures feel uncomfortable. Having been in Canada at both mid winter and summer, in temperature's of both -30C and +35C in low humidity and finding it far more tolerable than the UK at 0 and 25C

I will second that. Though not so extreme. For 1 week in Hamburg I worked building outside all day. 6 inches of snow all around and the temperature never got higher than -5. And there was no problems.
