Our bedroom is 29.5º, outside is 34º ... and that feels fresh compared to yesterday and the day before when we had 38º

That 4.5 degrees difference will feel great. when we visited my daughter in Southern China she had her aircon set at 28 degrees, that was 6 degrees lower than outside. After a couple of days we felt great either out or in.

Bet you're getting adjusted already, enjoy the sun and don't use it all up before we come on holiday.

Still no aircon, David

Briz, we're going to feel quite cold when this heatwave passes and we get back down to 25º!

About 6.30 this evening the temperature suddenly plummeted 10º and the humidity shot up from 24% to 65%. Suddenly it's gone.

Tonight, it's 21º and it feels freezing

With the passing of the heatwave, the Cabildo has lifted its ban on fires in the forest recreational centres, and on agricultural fires and fireworks.
