A very hot day

Aug 12, 2016 02:41


These are some photos I took when I went out for a walk this evening (look at the bottom right corner of the display - your right) The first photo shows the temperature at that moment, and the second photo shows the exact time.

A little information for the Americans: 32C is 89.6F and the date is written European style, day-month-year.

A little information for the Russians: могила is colloquial Bulgarian for "hill", so the name of that bus/trolleybus stop is not about anybody's grave. :)

And in case anybody thinks that's hot, the outdoor temperature was 37C (98.6F) in the late afternoon, and it was 29C (84.2F in the kitchen), while my sister's baby (also visiting) was sleeping in a slightly cooler room. The reason for their visit was that there was no water at their place due to some kind of road work nearby.

Thankfully, we've been having a strong wind all night; it blows mostly parallel to the open window, but still makes things bearable. Alas, we only got some drizzle earlier tonight instead of the rain they got in other parts o the country, but there is still some hope of rain in the morning, and tomorrow's forecast is for much more bearable temperatures, for a change... and if we are lucky, we may get another cooler day or two before the heat wave resumes.







And this is what the whole sign thing looks like. What exactly do you call the whole thing in English, by the way? It says when the next bus or trolleybus arrives.
