This currently expected heatwave is making the news because it is expected to hit France, Germany, Benelux etc where heatwaves in general are not as frequent and intense as in Spain and where new record temperatures are expected for a few days. This one seems to be a bit unusual: apparently, how bad (hot) it will be in the end will also depend on how much Sahara dust will be included in the hot air coming from the south.Heatwaves happen every summer in Spain, lived in León 17 years and never found them a problem, large hat loose clothing long sleeves and trousers and plenty of water and take it easy
Exactly. Apart from the usual (water, protection from the sun, shade, early morning etc): Don't walk much or don't walk at all when you are not used to such temperatures.take it easy
Lightweight, and loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts protect against UV (sunburn) and infrared, radiant heat heating up the skin. Keeping the direct sun form hitting the skin helps the body stay cooler. All one needs do is look at the garb worn by primarily desert dwellers
??? I hope you're thinking in F? I cannot imagine wearing a sweater in 56C!!!!Yep and today it is 56 in Hontanos at noon with thunderstorms forecast overnight, back to sweater weather
Sorry I should have been clearer.??? I hope you're thinking in F? I cannot imagine wearing a sweater in 56C!!!!
Positively AUSTRALIAN! We could use a bit of that right now, here in Adelaide!OK, there's an official warning in France for next week -- temps in several parts of the country expected between 35°C and 40°C as a baseline.
It seems that four more waves of this heat are predicted for 2019 --
In mid-July, early August, late August and early September.
