To describe how hot summer is here, this picture might help. This candle is 2 years old and went through 3 summers (I think). As you can see it is leaning to one side and you can also see the plastic that covers the whole candle . This is just for display here. The heat this year is much terrible that the previous years.

There are places with high heat index. Makes sure to drink more water and as much as possible avoid going out. In our place, we also experience summer. Though we have rain from time to time especially at night.

@vandana7 since we are a tropical country, we only have summer and rainy seasons, and those rainy season do not mean it is raining everyday so if there is no rain or storm, the sun is still out there

That's bad. Today it is about 24-32 centigrades here and now it is 30 centigrades. Sometimes there will be rains here and therefore the weather will not be so hot yet. But it may change in real summer. But here usually the highest temperature won't be over 36 centigrades.

@rakski If there was so much rain, it should not be so hot.

I'm sorry that it is so hot there right now. I hope you get some relief from the heat soon. Candles also melt here from the heat during the summer. Sometimes shops will put partially melted candles on sale, hoping someone will buy them anyway. It's still spring here but the heat is already reaching 88F/31C yesterday and may be hotter today. That's much too warm for this early in the season.

@rakski We can get morning or evening rains. I prefer it raining overnight so I can still do stuff during the daytime.

That is what I am afraid of when the summer season begins in June that heat advisories will be making their rounds soon.

I agree. This year the summer is very very hot. Three days back the temperature went up as high as 47 C. Now it is 45 C, but the forecast says that it is likely to go up to 55 C.

It is almost 10 pm and it is 31C ..extremely uncomfortable. The drawing room has AC...but I have nothing to do there. My room has a fan. When I get up from my seat, it feels as if I peed. LOL
