That's the big difference between the coast and halfway up a mountain.  We've got 44% humidity.

Seems like a perfectly normal August day in Tenerife to me. If they hadn't issued their stupid alerts nobody would take any notice at all.
Crap.

[Janet]

37º is not normal up here ....

By normal, I mean normal August, which is pretty warm.
Every August I bring the hamsters in for a week or so. It's not hot enough for that at the moment. I imagine it gets hotter at altitude, but then it always does.

Just looked - 29º here. Altitude about 500m.

Thing with the alerts is that the protocol allows certain things to be put in place, and for certain measures to be ratcheted up from insular to regional level ... things like fire prevention and fighting. I can see why they do it, but I'd argue that it needs to be taken for the administrative thing it is rather than a wind-up weather forecast ...

Exactly - but people do love to be wound up.

The Canarians are the worst - I spend most of my days telling them it isn't hot, and that is when there isn't an alert. Give them an alert and everything is so dramatically "horroroso".

Edit - Horroroso
