    You really should buy six or seven white jellaba's and wear them all over each other. You'll stay cool

    Luckily I grew up somewhere where the usual temperature ranged from 35C to 45C... but unfortunately it's damn humid in this country and that makes anything above 35C start to become annoying.

    I get hay fever, which made it even worse, but luckly I had some hay fever tablets. Unlike yesterday where I had to suffer because everyone had gone to town (IE Liverpool city centre) and had taken the tablets with them and not used them. It was like they did it on purpose.

    Man - don't us Brits LOVE to talk / have a go at the weather?

    We had serious heat here two weeks ago. Days and days of 25 to 30+ with stupid humidity. Could barely breathe. The entire province, the size of most of Europe, was under extreme forest fire alert. Sixty-five forest fires were burning out of control. No fire permits were being issued anywhere in the province.

    Then it rained and rained and rained for two bloody weeks. At least most of the fires went out.

    Tomorrow we're back to 26 degrees for two days than down to a lovey 20. Perfect work weather.

    98* Farenheit the other day. Today was better, in the 70s I think.

    98 Fahrenheit is 36.67 Celsius. That's really hot.
    It's 29 Celsius with a lot of humidity in where I live. That's 84.2 Fahrenheit.

    My whole family and I, all get hay fever too, and we swear by this little product called Beconase. Its a nose spray, and with just a couple of squirts it sorts you out for the whole day! You can go rolling around in grass, picking flowers in the fields with your girlfriend and so much more

    It's lovely down here again today: lots of hotties in super short skirts.

    Yesterday was AWFUL - sticky, hot, no air movement at all.

    I just don't understand why the heat is always so oppressive here: I've been in India and it was much hotter but nowhere near as stifling.

    Lots and lots more water in the air! India has dry heat. If it is over 30 degrees over here in dutchiestan it is a nightmare.

    Today is a lot better. A clear sky and a cool breeze. The only problem is that I have to help my nan destroy a pamas grass thing.

    Damn, it allways overcoasted, and it rains very often.

    Damn straight... this is annoying and somewhat sweaty at 30-35° C while on Aruba, where there's very little humidity, I wouldn't start sweating until 40° C... But, okay, the wind there is constant. And I don't sweat much even here and now with this appaling humidity.

    The macamba's, on the other hand... sheesh, sweating like walrusses

    My thoughts exactly! You sit down, and after 15 mins, you are stuck to the chair...

    It's like an oven here. 32 degrees.......I hate this weather ! Yesterday there was a thunderstorm.....but no rain. No bloody rain! And the sunshines on the computer so that I can't sit here in the morning! Give me freezing winter, but not this.

    The joys of living in a backwards country that doesn't have air-conditioned houses as standard. Me, I live half the year in Beijing. Freezing cold winters, baking hot summers - but, we have air-conditioners. Going outside during the day is generally intolerable though; but who goes out in the daytime? Evenings though...
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.
