Heatwave over?

The past few have been scorching hot in Paris, to the point of being unpleasant. It felt more like Alice Springs or Tucson than Paris, not a good thing when you ride the metro to work!





Well as I type (10.40pm) we%26#39;re having a huge thunderstorm over Paris. OK, now back to my balcony to watch the lightning!

Definitely not over in the Uk. Living in South East England, near London, today was like an oven, extremely hot. Be sure not to overdo the sightseeing in this heat!




|||



Paris like Tucson? Tucson%26#39;s very dry heat. You%26#39;d get electrical storms but seldom a thunderstorm with torrential downpour from critical masses of moisture in the air.



Did you mean more like swampy and sticky Houston?




|||



It%26#39;s neither Tucson nor Houston, it is (or rather was, thank god) slightly humid, but heavily polluted. After yesterday night%26#39;s thunderstorms, it%26#39;s cool and pleasant now at 9h20, about 20°, should only go up to 26 today. We%26#39;re breathing again!

Lucky you in Paris. Down here near Avignon, we are sweltering and have been for what seems like about 3 weeks now. 40 degrees each afternoon in Bedoin. It really does a number on your energy level. We do very little that isn%26#39;t obligatory ...





Still no thunderstorms down here either. We REALLY need a few.

Man that thunderstorm last night was just excellent and I woke up to a nice balmy 21°C this morning :)




|||



Probably the answer to this is yes, no, and maybe.





Next week is supposed to be hot in the UK - I guess Paris wont escape
