Why on Earth Did I Agree to go on Vacation in August?

I do not tolerate heat or humidity well. August is always the hottest part of the year. But I thought Eastern Europe never got brutally hot. I thought it would be around 77F degrees. Unlucky for me Europe is experiencing a heat wave and everywhere I’m going to be on vacation will be in the mid 90’sF next week Bad timing for me

If you have time to buy one, please get a neck fan ….they are great …..you will need to charge it , but I doubt that will be a problem ….

Yes, Europe is "piping hot" this year. Hope it eases when you are there.
