The outside temperature is not as high anymore as the first 3 weeks. Now at daytime it is around 38 C (100 F), although I have to say when you walk in full sun it feels much hotter. At night it cools down to 33 C (91 F).
What baffles me every day again, is the time when the sun sets. At 17.40 the street lights are turned on, at 18.00 it is not possible anymore to read your book outside because it is too dark already. And at 18.30 it is pitch dark. So when you go for a swim around 17.00, what we often do, it feels like 20.00. Coming from Holland where you’re used to sitting outside till 23.00 in summer, it feels very unnatural. Everywhere where we lived in the past 10 years, sunset is much earlier than in Holland, but we’re still not used to it. Only in the middle of winter streetlights turn on at 17.40 in Holland. I guess unconsciously you keep using as a standard what you grew up with as a kid.
