Weather

The temperature was 29C (84F) last night. This is the first time the temperature has got below 30C since we got here. It may be that the worst of the summer is behind us.

According to rumour everybody can stop work if the temperature goes above 50C (122F) and the official temperature never goes above 49C. A couple of weeks ago every day was above 50C for the whole week.

There has been a lot more cloud here than I was expecting - basically I was expecting hot sunny days every day - it has still been as hot as I thought it was going to be though. It hasn't rained here this year yet, though it did rain last year.

Everybody here says the weather during the winter is fantastic, the temperature will be in the 20s C (70s F). I'm looking forward to it.
