    No kidding. My first summer here I was warned about the 120F heat, but until I experienced it the first time I had no idea. 120F is SO freaking hot! So I guess I'll be happy it's only 103F for right now.

    I'm wishing some cooler weather your way and hoping your windows help!

    If your windows are in direct sun, doing the tin-foil-shiny-side-out in the window would help deflect some of the heat!

    Well, it's down to 26,5 now, with open windows, so I'm off to bed.

    This temperature should only last a few more days.
    No, the $100 air conditioner goes into the window.

    We have not had much very hot weather yet, not more than a day or two at a time. If I could, I'd send some of our weather your way, Randi, though Paul LIKES really hot weather. It's 17.2% C here right now, and the high is supposed to be 21-22 C tomorrow. Just right, as far as I am concerned!

    Thank you, all! Kalei, I doubt you'd think 28C (82F) is a good temperature inside. Right now, it's 29,4 in my bedroom.

    I live on a corner and have 7 windows facing the street, my bedroom has 3 windows facing Southwest. I have all the blinds down, plus the curtains in the bedroom drawn. Sometimes, I think it may be better to just close all the windows.

    I'll go and cool down in a big supermarket now.

    Right now it is 23°c in my bedroom and that is with the air conditioner going. Hubby decided that Vixen needed one. He said she is a canadian cat and is not used to the hot weather here in Italy. You think he is a cat guy? I was begging him last summer to buy one and no way. But he decided after we had a early hot spell that Vixen should not suffer this year so out he went and spent €1000 on an air conditioning system for our cat. The humans aren't important but the cats need to be comfy.

    You are right, that is far to hot for sleeping in.... . Cannot you have a fan installed on the ceiling of your bedroom? We did that, and it is much more comfortable now

    We've already hit 38 C over here and it's only getting hotter! I've been spending lots of time at the pool and thankfully we have air condition. However the upstairs bedroom where my computer is gets hot it's usally around 28 C in here so Alexa and I fight over what temperature to set the a/c at! When we have guests sleep over we have to freeze the downstairs so that are guests are comfortable sleeping in the upstairs bedroom.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Same here, Laura! Kiara is loving the fact that I've been swimming everyday. It's really the only way I can stand being outside!

    Anyone wanna come take a dip?

    I probably live in a very special part of France, it is only 16 C while it's hot and humid everywhere else! Even Lille which is less than 50 km from here is between 25 and 30 C! In the rest of France there are big rains and thunders almost everyday.
    I hate humid wheather too! Poor you and Fister

  13. Yesterday, here in sunny southern California, the high was 66F or 19C. And of course, no humidity (we are having a drought....)

    I had a long-sleeved blouse on!

    P.s....it wasn't very sunny either....
