Well, at 4.00pm we have 31.5 degrees in the shade, a light variable breeze and a few light clouds. All in all it's fairly pleasent, I've had worse thursday afternoons, though this one is about to get better anytime now, the G&T is on it's way!

Well, a standard nice day in store, at 9.45am it was 23 in the shade, nice cooling breeze but not constant, the suns where you'd expect it and there's no cloud. That said there is some haze or fuzz quite high up as the sky is not the azure blue we see when ther's no cloud, it's beautiful but a darker blue, maybe a tinge of grey in it.
Expect it to be in the 30's later this after and take care in the sun, especially if you're a bit thin on top!
Off to enjoy it now.

Well, yesterday the breeze became more constant and stronger making reading, particularly newspapers, trying! Presumably that breeze kept the temperature down with it peaking, surprisingly quite late at 6.15pm, at 29.8 degree’s, it didn’t break the 30. (Sorry John, but even I can't use the G word here!)
Today, now, not a breath of breeze, it is eerily still, clear blue skies and at 8.20am was already 22 in the shade. Unless the breeze returns I think today will be very hot and surely into the 30’s, fingers crossed the G word will apply later, I'll let you know!

Yesterday
did make the predicted 30’s, just. It peaked at 31 at, again, the surprisingly
late time of 5.50pm.
We are about 4km away from AA and it's somewhat different, amazing what difference a few km makes!
It is
rather cool, at 10.30 am it’s 23 degree’s but the steady breeze is quite
cooling. Clear skies so pretty much same as.
I think the
heat wave we had in June has spoiled us!

Yesterday peaked at a lower 27 degree's, very comfortable and hot enough. Gale and Salgados beaches were rammed, pictures to follow in other categories.
Today is again same as, currently 24 and rising, clear blue skies, no cloud and lovely steady cooling breeze, long may it continue.

The breeze became wind yesterday afternoon, quite strong at times and restricted the top temp to 25 at about 5.30pm, the wind then completely died and we had a very pleasant night. Today 22 degrees at 10.00am, clear skies, the lightest of breeze so we're set fair, how warm it will get is anyone's guess but it will be warm enough. Lovely day.

Well, what on earth happened there then? Late morning someone flicked a switch and it was instantly clouded/misted over, incredible, much cooler and the air was very damp. Three o'clock came and it went as quickly as it came and the temperature increased quickly up to 30 degree's at 4.30 and beautiful blue sky. Currently a very nice evening, full sunshine and still 28 degree's, shame to vacate the garden for the shower and the evenings festivities.

It made a very acceptable 28 yesterday, lovely afternoon and evening. Today? same pattern it seems, overcast and somewhat grey, the air is really damp making it feel cooler than it is, currently 21 degree's and no breeze. Doubt it will get as far as rain and hope it does as the past two days, clear and leave us with more of what is expected, especially as one's other daughter arrives this after!
