How hot is it?



We are in the midst of a Europe-wide heat wave, yet another effect of global weather weirding. In Fidenza the temperature reached 101 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday and is heading that way today. (I'm trying to learn Celsius but my brain is too warm for that this week.) When we went out for drinks in the piazza last night the bar was running low on ice.

We have no air-conditioning in our apartment and are making do with pedestal fans, closed blinds, and cold showers. It's pretty miserable. Even places with AC don't have systems strong enough to really make you feel cool in this weather--just a bit less hot.

My phone reminds me that the high in El Cerrito today will be 73 degrees. I love Fidenza, but this is making the prospect of heading back to California a lot easier.
