Tropical Heatwave

I would like to let you all know that I am still alive, despite the extreme weather conditions, 28-32° C (82-90° F) for Northern Europe. Mind you, I am not complaining!

However, it's just a bit hot, has been going on for a long time and will most likely continue a while longer. So, I guess - even if I am most certainly not complaining - I am trying to let you know I am not totally comfortable, i.e. suffering a bit.

Cold showers and a big fan are keeping me alive, although just barely. 

I Don't Want To Complain, But...

... I really have had my fill of tropical heat with temperatures around 30° C.

At least give me a period of one or two weeks with a pleasant 20-25° C so that I can recover, sleep well during the nights and enjoy days with pleasant warmth. I realize that for many of you 30° or above may be a normal temperature, but I am a Northerner and not at all used to these temperatures.

When I was a child I used to live in a subtropical country where temperatures of 40° and above were not uncommon, but that was different. We had air conditioning, thick walls and life styles that allowed you to stay out of the sun during the warmest hours.
