These temperatures are exceptional. The average temperature for July is 22C, tonight temperatures will drop down to 24C. Today we reached over 38C, in the city, where I am, a bit warmer than that. I managed to keep temperature inside down to 30.5C, I took dog Keira for an early walk, her next being at 9pm, when temperatures are starting to go down.
Almost every summer there are some days when temperatures rise to around 30C, but over 40C (in the south of the country) is exceptional. This year we're lucky it's just a couple of days, last year we had weeks of hot weather. There are very little houses with central cooling, we usually make due with fans, some people might have an airco they can move around, which they put in their bedroom when needed.
Just one more day of high temperatures. I can deal with the day, but I'm not sure how well I cope tonight.
Saturday there's a divide in the country, the south will be cooler, around 25C, and very wet, the north will be warmer, up to 30C, and dry. I'm in the middle and rain is predicted for most of the day, but the various weather can't agree on the temperature, but even 29C sounds nice, 25C sounds positively cool.
