Hot weather

Once again Europe is sweltering in a heat wave. For the last week or so the temperature have been around 30 degrees or more. So need less to say it’s hot. For the first time in my life I work in office with AC so during the days I don’t think much about it. But going back and forth to work and during the nights. Ugh! It’s hot! I hate to complain since just some months ago I was moaning about how long and terribly the winter had been. And just in another couple of months it will be here again…

But living in the northern part of Europe has its benefits. Our temps have just been lingering around 30, and not 36 as in London, 37 in Paris or 41 (!) degrees in Bosnia. Talking to Philip last night I could tell how miserable he was with this kind of temperatures. Travelling on the Tube and train in a suit must be close to unbearable. Poor thing! Going home is one thing, but arriving to work soaking wet is no fun.

The problem is that our homes, work places, public transportations etc are not built for this kind of heat. For about 8-9 months of the year we try to get away from the cold and now suddenly we are suppose to get way from the heat. That kind of equation doesn’t really work. So we just have to try to survive, stay cool and blame everything on the heat.
