On the other hand the humidity is only 18%, so it's quite dry and not too bad at all.

Just heat I can handle its when you get high humidity that knocks me back. Way back in the 1990's I recall walking behind this Arab and businessman on a very very hot day and this businessman was saying great weather we were having. The Arab answer this very bad for you too much humidity bad for your health, always seem to recall that day when it hots up.

I can understand that. Back in the mid-'80s I spent my winters driving skiers to the resorts, but in the summer I drove tourists around town in a funny-looking truck dressed up to look like a train, towing open-air trailers. One day a tourist mentioned that the electric sign on a bank we had just passed said the temperature was 108 degrees. He then said he was from Alabama, and that it didn't feel that hot. When I pointed out that the humidity was likely only 15%, he said yeah, where he was from it was usually around 80 degrees and 80% humidity.

That'll kill ya.

Yeah humidity! I love the dry heat of California as opposed to the steam of Minnesota. It will be in the 90's today but cool on the bay....SAILING DAY!

Latest reports it starts Tuesday and set for the rest of the week getting hotter and hotter, the north is in for the heatwave as well.

Yup, it's summer alright. So far today I've seen a Dragon-fly, a baby grass snake and found a nest of bees in the back garden.

Not much sun worshipping going to happen here...the paving company arrive early Monday morning to make the rear garden maintenance free and my neighbour who has already snaffled my decking is now in the process of doing likewise with the patio area so mrs buna is now sitting in the conservatory looking at a virtual building site.

A timely warning here about the dangers of over-exposure to the sun:

"I should get that looked at if I were you..."
