Heatwave?

For anyone currently out there-Is it really that hot there currently?

I don't think the temperatures have been extremely high, but prolonged 30-35c is I think a problem. Scotygirl has said it is chilly at night, could be the sun burn, but perhaps a breeze making it feel chilly as the night temp look okay . That alone makes it a nice relief in those day temps. More of a worry is the forecast for the same for the rest of the month and right through to September! We feel comfortable at 15c here in Yorkshire [size=78%] [/size]

The Eastern part of Greece and the mainland has been hot but here it has been in fairness quite a normal June with temperatures around 28c - 32c.  A few days very windy and today just a gentle breeze. 
As always the sensible thing is to stay out of the midday sun and keep hydrated, wear a hat and vigorous activities are best before 11.00 or after 4pm. 
Evenings it has mostly been around 22c so pleasant for dining Al Fresco.
Wishing everyone a lovely holiday..........
