heat wave summer ’22
15 Friday Jul 2022
So yeah, it’s been HOT. This past week most days it’s got up to about 45º at peak hours and only “cooling down” to about 27º overnight, and it looks to be staying that way for a while yet. It’s been amusing to watch my Twitter timeline and folks in London crying HEATWAVE at 32º (overnight 16º). When I point out what an actual heat wave is the inevitable response is that we are used to these temps and that our streets, etc are better equipped (narrow and shady) and that we all have AC down here. Which of course is the opinion of people who have only stayed in the touristic centre here at hotels or AirBnBs. But if you step outside the old town, even five minutes away, suddenly the streets are wider, no shade anywhere. The reality of living here is quite different.
always look up!

We have an Alerta Naranja for extreme temperatures this weekend, though it actually started hitting 40º a couple of days ago. I am trying to wait until 2 pm (when cheaper electricity rates kick in) to turn on the AC but once it gets to 30º INSIDE it’s hard not to succumb. Howzit where you are?
