Hope so Suej... I was quite surprised our gym instructor managed to do our step class this morning, as she's asthmatic... mind you, she did skip a couple of the songs/routines THANK GOODNESS :pray:

LOL ... I always chortle to myself when the Brits use the gym I go to (as they do Les Mills classes) and they say "where's the air-con¿?" .... I just look up at the wall at the three rusty fans trying to blow a bit of air out hahahaha :) then open the doors a bit wider...

On the Welsh weather forecast tonight he said we are to have rain Wednesdayhere in Wales,but it would be 44 c in Tenerife on the same day.

This Calima's been a corker.

From where I live in Las Chafiras I can usually tell how bad it is going to be by how far out to sea we can see towards the horizon.

Today we couldn't even see the sea.

I live in Fraile, normally I go up on roof to have a look at Teide... we could only just see Montaña Guaza this morning ...

Saw the forecast on the BBC red button was saying 40's for a couple of days...

it's now saying 45 tomorrow with light rain - then coming down in temp - take care out there.

it's not got up to the 40's here on the coast, but wouldn't be surprised if it was hotter up the hill.... luckily we seem to have a fairly nice breeze (when it decides to blow) and not the usual tumble dryer type heat that normally comes along with the calima .... it was about 29ºC earlier, so not too bad...

It was definitely cooler down in the South yesterday! we went to Santa Cruz, wasn't too bad in the area of the Meridian Carrefour but when we went on to Leroy Merlins is was scorching we saw temps on the roadside thermometers of 38º but within the 50 minutes or so it took to return to the South it lowered to around 28º a big difference! :sunshine:

I hope the above link takes you to a photo at sunrise this morning...I did a double take on Monday morning while on my early moning walk through Los Cristianos.......the rising sun looked like the moon and the sea and sky merged into one. We stayed on Parque 111 and from there Palm Mar was invisible! We never saw a plane either...spooky!!
