This is the symbol on the Accuweather web site today for Sevilla.
The headline item on the TV news this morning is "el calor", the heat. They are showing a digital therometer with 43°C!
That's 109°F according to my calculations. Here is a link to a National Weather Service web page with a handy Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa converter: Temperature converter
According to the Accuweather web site it will only be 41° today with a "real feel" of 43. I feel better knowing it will only be 106°F today and only "feel" like 109! Fortunately, my job dosen't require me to work outside.
Thinking of my sister Chris in Tucson, AZ I checked the Accuweather forecast for there and it's predicted to be 94°F today with a real feel of only 93. I suppose it is because of the low humidity there that they are spared that real feel increase today though I believe it actually gets much hotter in Tucson than it does here. July is coming everywhere.
Karen and I went to the bull fights yesterday evening at 7:30. That's another story. We were very happy that we had paid a considerable premium for the privilege of sitting in the "sombra" seats since even in the shade we were perspiring, OK I was sweating, Karen was perspiring, a little. It was still very hot even when we left a little before 10:00 PM and still light though the sun had set.
We also went to the hotel near the Plaza de Toros where the toreros stay and dress before being driven to the plaza. About 45 minutes before the event they come into the lobby in their elaborate uniforms and strut about, exuding confidence, almost arrogance. They are the rock stars of Spain. Ole!
Tight pants and pink socks wouldn't make it in a lot of places in the US but they are the rage here.
Bill, I know how hot 109 feels. We are having an unusually "cool" June as it is normally in the low 100s. Does the temperature in Sevilla fluctuate as it does in Tucson? This morning at 0530 it was 60, at 1230 the temp was 94.
ReplyDeleteHow was the bull fight -- other than hot?
Hey, Bill, it's hot here in Atlanta too (but I don't think it's quite up to 106 or 109. Still, it's hot enough. I like the picture of Karen with the bullfighters ... she's the best looking person in the picture!
