It's Hot!

This week has been very hot. Today it is 41C/105F...holy crap, is that right???? Yeah, the temperature converter doesn't lie.

The television reporters are doing stories about the heat. Showing people drinking water, buying water, pouring water over their heads. Just like in America, they warn of the impending doom of mankind.

I can relate.

I am an "air-conditioned baby". In Louisiana, we have weather just like this...same heat, same humidity. But, everything is air conditioned. When you are outside, it is usually for a short period of time, or you are at the pool.

We have a small rotating fan in the apartment. We live on the top floor of our building. Heat rises.

It is 36C/97F in here right now. OMG. Solution? There is none. I just wear the minimum of clothing and shower about every hour. Stay still, very still. And drink lots of water...

Most evenings we go fishing on the Danube and stay there for a couple of hours. That helps. On the weekend, we often go visit family on the Danube in Čelarevo. But during the heat of the day, here in town, the last place to be is outside.

We expect about 6 more weeks of heat. There will be days when the highs will only be 34C/93F. I look forward to the beautiful, cool fall days of October that I remember from last year.
