But I'm going to be in a place where the nearest land is Japan.
It's the only thing that keeps me going right now, and chose it because the climate is temperate rain forest.

Our office temperature is a minimum of 27C on days when its 22C outside.
We were asked to work from home during the past 2 days due to a "Hackathon", so our seats were confiscated (not that they were any good). But no doubt that UBS will win again.
And I'll be in trouble because I felt quite sick today due to the heat, and will have to work tomorrow to compensate before the boss returns from vacation.

I was doing fine today. It was slightly overcast so no sun, nice breeze while strolling around Bienne this morning, temp around 24C. Then the sun came out about 1pm and I'm back to sweating like a pig whenever I move more than a few feet.  28.6 in my room here at the moment, living room's hit 30 again.

Nice until about 10.30am pottering in the garden with a cool breeze but then it heated up. Have given up keeping all the windows closed as it's 27c inside so at least have some air movement even if it is a hairdrier now. I even resorted to putting a wet flannel on my head + neck during the night. |

But a FLANNEL? How old am I getting? First I even notice what the weather is doing & comment on it & now I need to cool my areas? I used to go out in a hurricane or a blizzard & think it was fun. |

My daughter also suggested Scotland (she was there already), but I had to top her with a cold bit of Canada for my dream trip).

Same here in Neuchâtel. I managed to get quite a bit of gardening done this morning while the temperature was still relatively pleasant.
It got a lot warmer from about 11am onwards but nowhere near as bad as the previous few days.
I am really looking forward to some rain though and it doesn't seem as though we'll be getting any here any time soon. | This user would like to thank Belgianmum for this useful post: | |
