That was the temperature outside. Here in the room where my keyboard and screen
are it was hotter.

To hot to argue with Bj"orn. ;-)

 DD> 30C is just balmy.

You are closer to the equator. Here at 52 degrees North, we are supposed to
have a moderate climate. In my youth temperatures above 30C were rare. Now we
see it more often, but it is still considere hot here. Out bodies are not tuned
to it. 44C is (still) unheard of here.

You live near the tropics and are more used to it. Even ethogh here (the
meteorological) summer has just started and you are at the start of winter.



Cheers, Michiel
