HAS THE INTENSE HEAT ALREADY KICKED IN

WOW!!!! Was it hot yesterday! I checked my outside thermometer and it read 35 degrees in the shade and the time was 8pm. During the day it hit more than 40 degrees and it was as though we were melting slowly. But having said that we love it and be sensible and stay out of the direct sunlight and keep that factor 50 sunblock on and close to hand.It would be interesting to hear from the forum members on how they cope and handle the heat here in Spain. All comments welcome

Absolutely scorching isn´t it!!!!!! I work on the road a lot so my air con is on full blast, its the only way to keep cool, costly I know, but I have no choice. If you have to go out try to avoid the heat between 1-4pm and if you are out then find a nice little cafe/bar that has air con and enjoy a cool drink.

Not lived here long, but did not realise the heat is that strong. Does anyone know if it gets any hotter, I mean I love the sun but this type of heat can be unbearable. Seriously not complaining, just want it to be 10 degrees lower. I suppose you cannot have your cake and eat it!!!!!!

We have only had 3 hotish days lol
Wait till 3 months have passed and you can’t' wait to go dancing in the rain.
The answer is to get up early do what you need to do then go back to bed (locally known as a siesta) then come out in the evening. Takes some getting used to.
I can't do it lol

I’m south facing, so i do keep my front windows and shutters closed & my back one open, helps keep the house a bit cooler
