4c and sunny this morning. no wind, and feels like summer
Overcast and drizzling here. 8C at the moment.
A lot warmer here than it was on Friday. Overcast with some drizzle. No breakfast oatcakes today as they don't open on a Sunday :(
Very dark here at the moment, can barely see the keyboard. Not sure what the weather is about to do. Snow, possibly.
Some like it hot...
Humidity is what makes the heat uncomfortable. 80 degrees (in the old money) and low humidity is pretty much perfect for me. Shame I live in the wrong country for it.
80°C, for me is bearable, as long as it's accompanied by a cool breeze. But when the air is still, I find such sustained temperatures quite uncomfortable, especially in a large town or city, where it's also liable to be humid.
Much comes down to whether you're the type of person who perspires a lot, or not. If you don't, then you can stay feeling relatively fresh and clean in the heat.
Unfortunately, I sweat like a bastard (like most warm-blooded Latin types), and so it's simply no fun lying in a pool of your own sweat (especially in bed at night), not sleeping properly because you're uncomfortable, or walking around the place during the day in sweaty clothes, and in order to prevent that horrible 'sticky' feeling, needing to shower and change clothes regularly throughout the day, with the hassle all that involves.
Also, houses in the UK simply aren't geared up for hot summer weather. It's a different kettle of fish if you have air-con, wooden shutters on your windows, to keep the sun out, and stone floors, such as is the case in houses abroad. No, UK-wise, give me a nice fresh and healthy, sunny spring/autumn or winter's day anytime! :)
