Well, you're probably getting Sweden's share of the 'heatwave'! Coldest July I've ever experienced with temps between 9 and 17, and this is usually our hottest month! I've had to get the winter duvets out of storage.

Someone directed me to the dailysceptic.org website, where they are having a lot of fun "fact checking" the BBCs hysterical weather coverage: https://dailysceptic.org/2023/07/27/feverish-bbc-reporting-on-european-heatwaves-debunked-by-actual-temperature-readings/ Most of the grass fires around here are started deliberately. It keeps the weeds under control by consuming a lot of the seeds and removes much of the roadside litter. I suspect that in Greece, there may also be an element of cleansing the tourists by some of the disaffected locals.

Roll on August. At least I will have the football to enjoy and as don't have any pets i won't be anthropomorphize .
