:-) no honestly, it may last just a few days but this weather s giving delhi tough competition! i guess the sharpness of the sun adds up!

Plus like 80% more sunlight actually reaching the ground due to relatively clean air? :P But, measure T in shade and you will get nothing like New Delhi (this plus low relative humidity here). One cannot simply compare CH to India

Cheers!

I do agree with the technicalities , just saying that surprised to see that CH also can have weather that makes one feel exhausted due to the heat and reach out for chilled lemonade!!:-)

While weather in ND makes you melt? :P

come on, u know what i mean!!!! :-)

Hmm I'm not suffering the heat in Switzerland too much while during my visit in ND I really was suffering...Probably due to the smog anyway :P

It must be what one is used to i guess.In India, we expect the summer to be bad, so we accordingly take precautions, try to stay indoors, the food we eat in the summer is different , we are mentally better prepared as well! While here,its a shocker for me as i don't expect it! Its a welcome break , just unexpected!

Hi Sumita


What sort of food? This might help a few of us that've become lukewarm puddles.


Ta in advance


GREG

I hope it rains as well, except that it just might produce more humidity

I am not meant to live in this kind of weather.

Good weather!Nice weather! Enjoy!

Hi Greg

1)lots of home made lime water , one glass every couple of hours
need to add a pinch of sugar n salt while making it.
could add a pinch of roasted cumin, just to break the monotony.
2)cucumber ,by itself, or added in yogurt
3)melon slices
4)watermelon
5)vegetable(especially gourds and onions) and fruit based diet, really!
6)avoid red meat if possible
7)rice instead of wheat
8)yogurt
9)water,lots and lots.

this list takes me back to my childhood, with grandma fussing over us in the summer holidays ! Ah well!

I stole this from a Facebook group I belong to (apologies to whoever posted it if you are on EF).

Excuse the language, but it kind of sums up the weather at the moment. Made me chuckle anyway..

Take a look at the signature

Second load of sopping clothes hanging outside here.

Scorchio here today again- nearly 7pm and still 29C in the shade. Will go out on patio for 'pair of teeth' in a mo

Our neighbour just came home with a new portable AC unit.

I think I might move in with him.

Or I may just join you Odile and have another G and T.

It feels like it's still around 29 or 30 at 19 hrs here at our chalet in Chatel at 1260 meters. My geraniums are looking rather wilted. I went hiking this morning as soon as the lifts opened because I knew it was going to be terrible this afternoon. Bottom line, even 1260 meters is not high enough to escape this. Can you imagine what Florence, IT must be like today with all of the tourists? Gah!

Trying a new concoction- very nice and cooling, my home-made pink elderflower cordial with gin and ice -peeerfect - come along - cheers

Enjoy

General advice to all:
Alcohol or not, everyone please be careful to stay very well hydrated in this heat. Make sure you always have water and ice close by!

Perhaps they need a drink

Smelly... and sweaty

It's 8:14pm and it is still 31 in the shade here :P

ahah just come in from garden- we do live at 950m so a bit higher than Lausanne.
