18.50 p.m and still 38C. The forecast for the next week doesn't give us any change either. It's hotter now than it was in July and August. Thank goodness for air con, which of course doesn't help when you have to go out.

Not many runners about then Clumsy......

Re: Weather

I think I'd die clumsy it's bad enough here so humid tonight but 38 degrees that's no fun at all.

Re: Weather

Believe it or not we still see people running, or should I say panting along, I think they are crazy, they are not all youngsters either. There are constantly warnings in the press about running etc in this heat, but obviously people take no notice.

Re: Weather

I can usually stand the heat, even though I have my moans about it, but at the present time it´s really too much, it isn´t cooling down at all during the night. I expect Iberdrola (electricity company) will be happy, air con units and fans going day and night. It really isn´t normal weather for September, often it is still very warm, hot even, but the nights are normally much cooler.

What a/c do you have?

I don't know your financial situation, but inverter systems on R410a are the best. They can be surprisingly cheap to run.

Re: Weather

Our air con units are all inverters fender, apart from one in the kitchen that was in the house when we bought it. We´ve been going to change that one for a few years, but never got around to it. It´s the only one that doesn´t do heat too, not that we need heat at the present time, got more than enough

We only ever use the air con for heating just for a short time in winter if it´s really cold, the central heating is normally only ever on at night, so sometimes a quick blast of heat is required during the day time.

It just isn´t cooling down, it´s gone midnight and the outside temperature is still at 37C.

Re: Weather

What temp are you getting inside Clumsy?

Re: Weather

It´s been 22C in the lounge, comfortable, in this room right now, 23C, air con still on, not had air con on in the kitchen tonight, walking in there feels like a furnace, both bathrooms very warm, no air con in them, I haven´t been in the guest room tonight, so no doubt very warm in there, Mr Clumsy´s room had air con on for an hour then switched to fan. We get a lot of sun in this house, keeping the persianas (blinds) down helps a lot.

Re: Weather

Since June most of the summer here it was anywhere from 40C to 42C. Wednesday it will be 40C.
