It's A Scorcher!


In a rare show of weather solidarity with my East Coast USA friends and family, Europe is getting blasted with record high temperatures as well. Yesterday it was something like 92 degrees; today calls for 94 with a fair amount of humidity. We have the advantage of living in a semi-basement apartment (ground level is waist high as I walk around the place), which keeps temps pleasantly mild this time of year --one of our friends thought we had A/C! This also makes the joint quite the popular gathering place for our neighbors, as we watched more World Cup here last night. As with any unusual weather pattern in this neck of the woods, we have of course been assured that "this never happens in Nuremberg." Feh. I heard that last summer too.

Our place feels like it's got A/C in the summer, too — we're on the ground floor of a building in a chunk of town in the middle of the Danube. The heat wall I smack into when stepping outside is always a surprise (you'd think I'd learn).

In the winter, it's proportionally colder than you want, too. Gotta take the good with the bad.

I sure hope the weather at the WEBMU in Hamburg in September is agreeable!
