Corfu Heat Wave

(1/4) > >>

Gillywoo:
Just a quick warning for anyone coming out to San Steph this weekend, much of the Ionian Island are in the grip of a heatwave with high temperatures even by Greece standards.

Yesterday the temperature in Corfu Town reached 39c and even here in San Steph the mercury reached 36c with the normally cool north west breeze totally absent. The Greek Met. Office has issued heatwave warnings for Corfu, Kefallonia and Zante.

It is also increadibly humid, at the moment its 4.30pm and the temperature is down to 32c but the humidity is 86%! The air feels so thick you could cut it with a knife, even the locals are moaning about the heat but remarkably the dancing still goes on in the Little Prince and Zorbers!!

At night the temperature falls only slowly and last night at 1am it was still 27c, air conditioning is a must and I feel sorry for anyone without it.

Having said all that the Mythos is still served freezing coid so time for me to go and get another ;)

we were told about the heatwave just before we left on monday....it was certainly getting hotter when we were there! get in the shade, slap the suncream on and get a cold mythos!!!!!! ;)

Jimbo:
Andy sure ain't kidding! It is, as they say here, para poli zesti !

HOWEVER - the sea is a wonderful temperature - like bathing in the waters of paradise. We were sitting at Waves for a late lunch watching the horses from the riding school wading about in the sea over towards the old harbour. The islands are just faintly visible through the heat haze. There was a tiny breeze - just a few miles an hour - for a while this morning, but it didn't last long.

Me - I sleep fine without air-con, which I hate. Maybe four years living in the African bush trained me for it!

sunshine:
my daughter txt me this morning from zante and said it was 38c and were told it would go up to over 40c

sooz:
Yes it has been extremely hot.  We had decided to do without aircon this year but would have succumbed this week had we been able to track the owner down to get it connected! :'(
