I have to write a post on the weather at this time of year. July is supposed to be the hottest month but we're now at the end of May and the temperature has hit 50. I took a screen shot of my google weather widget at 47 last week. It's 9.30 at night and the temp is 38!We went for a night swim and the water was divine - really warm. Mind you going for a swim during the heat of the day in the sea is strange and not at all refreshing - the sea water is actually hot especially at the waters edge. We spend most weekends at the Dip Club by the pool or beach - see previous post. It's been getting very hot - the other day we were offered a frozen small towels (flannel)to put on our faces! - it was heaven.
It's the wind that's incredibly hot, it burns your nostrils when you breath. The humidity isn't so high though. Brian has not been so lucky - no air con where he is.
The other weird thing we have to do is turn off the hot water. Usually the cold water comes from the tanks that sit on the roof top, but at this time of year they give us hot water. So now when you turn on the hot tap we get cold water from inside the apartment because we have turned off the hot water cylinder and when we turn on the cold tap we get hot water from the roof!

How bizarre!?! What a coincidence - we were in 50 degrees here on the weekend but that was in a sauna. I suppose going from 47 degrees to 43 and then 42 degrees is, sort of, like a cold snap. You know, we had a cold snap here too and they closed the desert road. The hot/cold water thing sounds really weird.
