Whats Your Weather Like June 2023

Honestly Upsy, if the heat lingers 24/7 with the night low being 26c, it doesn't encourage one to sit out in it!

 

You have some beautiful shady areas though Vicky, unfortunately we don't have that many as we need all the light we can get in Winter!!

 

I like my home. It is dark and cool with 60cm/24in walls internally and externally and the lounge window looks out at a Carob tree and white Plumbago hangsing over a 2 meter wall on the lane. I don't feel shut in as it is all open plan with 5 meter ceiling. Except the kitchen/diner which is big and bright and white. Plus a/c helps. We go out in the morning and sit and potter for an hour and again between 5-7 before dinner. It is too stifling outside otherwise ... I like to breathe easy.

 

True ... but the high temps are shade temps! Imagine what it's like on the Dining Patio and The Courtyard! That is why we disposed of The Upper Deck!

 

22C on the shaded patio at the moment with a delightful southerly breeze blowing in .
Gonna be a lot hotter in a couple of hours once the sun comes round ,

Mad dogs and English men comes to mind.
Most people who are used to high temperatures tend to hide away until it cools down.
We don't get enough warmth most of the time so tend to make the most of it.
At least I'm not burning gas trying to keep warm.

 

Bet there are/will be a lot of red bodies on the beaches ... Brits as the Germans/Dutch/etc seem to be a bit more sensible.

At 10.30am here we are 28c in the shade/32c in direct sun ... just doing a test today.

 

It is 53c now in The Courtyard which is enclosed on three sides ... kitchen West/bedroom North/Baffa East and open to Orange Orchard to the South except for trellis. J just came in from watering pots there.

 

Germans have always been sensible.
Get the towels out early, first for breakfast.

 

Just put a thermometer ( normally used to check winter greenhouse temps) out in the open a few minutes ago. Our garden is pretty open to the elements ..already reached .

Shaded patio 28C.

 

It doesn't bear thinking about that there are individuals who lie out in the full sun (on beaches. patios, gardens. wherever) in such temps, even for hours on end.

Note I did not say "people" as that infers humans!

 

28c with nice breeze but to hot for me

 

Imagine if they arrived with their Beach Baskets ...
