It’s so much cooler today (everything’s relative). A high of 41˚C/105.8˚F as opposed to yesterday’s 44˚C/113˚F. It looks like it will continue to drop through the week. Not enough to send us hiking the mountains, but enough to be less oppressive. It’s overcast, breathing is poor, and allergies are high. Great day. I’ve been staying in the shadows.
Hoy hace mucho más fresco (todo es relativo). La máxima fue de 41 °C/105,8 °F, en comparación con los 44 °C/113 °F de ayer. Parece que seguirá bajando durante la semana. No lo suficiente como para hacernos subir a la montaña, pero sí para ser menos agobiante. Está nublado, se respira mal y hay muchos casos de alergias. Un día estupendo. He estado resguardándome en la sombra.

You are so cool, stay cool
David:
The temps have dropped a lot now. Only supposed to hit 98.6 today. Brrr!
I love your shadow photos – although I guess since your new apartment is so much higher, you don’t have the opportunity to take as many of “passers-by” as you did in Fuengirola. Jx
Jon:
I have figured out that I can get some great shadow shots of people from the terrace and bedroom. I just never remember to be there with my camera at the right time. Not like Fuengirola.
I may be wrong, but I imagine 106º doesn’t feel a whole lot different from 113º!
Steve:
Once (if) your body adjusts to the climate, there’s a huge difference between 106 and 113. I can tolerate 106 but won’t do much of anything at 113.
I hope all your shadows are real and not metaphorical.
Ms. Moon
Ms. Moon:
That’s a nice thing to hope for. I hope the same for you!
Mitchell, Man of Mystery, Mr Cool in the shadows…. Boud.
Stay cool.
Boud:
It’s only 82F right now! Climbing to high 90s, but a huge improvement. I’m cool. I’m cool.
In that kind of heat, I’d be seeking any shadows I could find too!
Debra:
I must admit it was a tough week. More bearable temps coming.
Sounds like as good a place as any.
Jim:
Anyplace for some relief.
You’re like me boy.. you love your shadows. We have called off here too, currently we’re in the mid 70s. Sleeping at night with the windows opens been heavenly.
Mistress Borghese:
It was only 72 when I woke up this morning. I didn’t get out in time to enjoy that. I DO love shadows.
41!!!!!!!!!!
finlaygray:
44!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d be dead!,,
finlaygray:
You’d be indoors!
Our cool spell ended–and I was glorious while it lasted–and we are back to hot days and high humidity.
I stay indoors, under a ceiling fan, with the AC on …..
Bob:
It does reach a point where it’s crazy to go outside. Today won’t reach 100. Wow!
The only thing that would be worse is to add humidity. Stay inside!!
Kelly:
Oh, humidity would be a nightmare. 113 feels like 113 in our 20 to 40% humidity.
And here I am moaning about it being in the 90s!
Kirk:
I know! We used to do the same. Thankfully, our bodies have adjusted. 90s are now pleasant (like today).
Scoot, sweetie, are you sure you haven’t moved to a desert by mistake? I’d be nekkid wrapped in a damp towel spread out under a fan on its highest setting! Air conditioning is good too.
Deedles:
Oh, yeah, it’s a lot like the desert, except for all the greenery, fountains, and no shortage of water. The image of you wrapped in a damp towel under a fan (somehow I imagine you wearing sunglasses) is wonderful. With BH waiting on you. In this climate, as you well know, only air conditioning will really do, although there are people here who still survive without it. I don’t know how.
We may pass 70 degrees F. today. I MIGHT go outside…
Rade:
We passed 70 at 7:00 this morning. I’m sorry I missed it! It’s still only 86 right now.
I was reading the NYTimes the other day and there was an article about the heat in Europe this summer. Where you live in Spain was the hottest color on the map!
Michael:
Córdoba is known at times as either the hottest city in Europe or the second hottest city in Europe.
That B/W photo is brilliantly composed!
wickedhamster:
Thanks. It was an artful view.
Those high temperatures really surprise me living as I do on the Texas coastal plains. I don’t think we’ve hit triple digits yet, except for the feels like, which we usually get in August. Still it’s been hot enough here that I’ve been staying pretty much indoors from about noon on. Ellen in Texas
Ellen (in Texas):
Córdoba is said to be the hottest or second hottest (depending on what you read) city in Europe. Our feels-like are usually the same as our real with our low humidity.
We are still getting highs around 42C
