And it’s gone back up again. Please let it stay like this this time.
Went for a short evening walk today and this is how it felt

Properly hot, 29°C in my home office. I just took a 10 mins nap in my chair 
Yeah, same temp here. 
We’ve 18 in the cellar, 25 on the main floor, and 26 in the glassy upstairs. It’s fixin’ to pour in an hour–massive rain coming from SG. Two more warm overnights (20) until Wed, when it hits only 17. By next week we’ll be back to normal (13-14).
Trying to grumble here, but not having much luck yet.
So where are you. On top of Säntis?
No…in paradise.

Didn’t get any rain in the end. 
We did
Send some over up North?
No rain here either, and the sun reappeared for a second round of baking us alive.
We had 32 today…then crashing thunder and much rain, wind…and now 18 and a cold breeze from the still-icy valley north of us. We’re sat out on the balcony watching the bats catch newly-hatched insects.
Lucky you!

The Swiss are weakies. Can’t take a bit of heat.
Lots of heat, lots of fuel for thunderstorms.
Canton Schwyz and Rapperswil (SG) with a big thunderstorm right now. MeteoSuisse gives a forecast of danger level 4 out of 5. The forecast is curious because the storm is not moving in any direction, just dropping rain in the same place for a couple hours.
I got back yesterday from a weekend in London. I can’t believe after all these years they still haven’t got proper air-conditioning on the Piccadilly line!
Ausserschwyz here: Not a drop of rain in sight. Precipitation seems to have disappeared from the forecast.
Even the farmer behind me seems to have been fooled, a rarity. (I’m convinced that farmers here have access to a more accurate source of weather data than we mere mortals do, as he rarely gets caught on the wrong foot, weather wise…) The farmer spread his organic (read: fragrant) fertilizer on the fields yesterday, usually a sure sign of rain no matter what the forecast says, but nothing yesterday, nothing so far today…
For years I had a workable system to keep the house cool: Open windows at midnight, close windows by sunrise. Awnings out, blinds down throughout the day. Now that OH is retired, though, he is home during the day and objects to living in the dark, so with the sun streaming in the place heats up quickly. Will this marriage survive?
Our house was built in the 80s, designed with the 70s energy crisis in mind to specifically keep heat in. Which is wonderful in the winter. I only spend pennies heating the house. I don’t need to turn on the furnace until the outside temps approach zero, I only heat one floor out of four. But summers are another kettle o’ fish. Once the temps hit 30, or even just 25 for longer than two weeks, I could bake bread on the tile floors.
Fortunately it looks like there will only be a few more days of this…
