I think I would collapse from heat exhaustion without A/C. Either I’m spoiled or my body doesn’t tolerate warm temperatures, or a bit of both. Even with A/C (ok, so it is only one and isn’t really enough for our whole apartment), if I do anything around the house at all (feed the cats, do the dishes, etc.), I end up sweating with my temperature going up.

This weather is terrible. I can’t wait until we move - my husband was up at our house this afternoon, and while it was hot, it was still bearable without A/C.

I have a question…

Where does painting the sitting room and the dining room fit into this heat advisory.

My crazy crazy mother is doing exactly that as we speak! I told her that she needs to not be painting in 46oC heat but will she listen? No!

Hi Rositta, I know many people who won’t use air-conditioning not just because it’s expensive but for environmental or health reasons. I have been to some supermarkets and public places recently where it’s actually freezing cold inside. I am sure there is a balance that can be struck between combating the heatwave and a total waste of resources.

As to your trip here, September is one of my favorite months here in Greece. It’s usually warm with some wonderfully refreshing downpours thrown in. I am sure you’ll have a fabulous time.

I have been following the news regarding your incredibly hot summer. My MIL lives in Athens and she won’t use the air conditioner, you know, to save money and all that crap. What is it with the elderly greek anyhow? Anyway, say cool, stay safe and I hope it cools off by September when I am gracing your fair city with my presence,…ciao
