How is the weather?

[mikehibb]

Hi all.

As above, how is the weather at the moment? looking at the forecasts it is pretty hot.

See you all soon, flying over on friday for a couple of weeks. Should I bring some extra sun cream?

Looking forward to cold Efes in iced glasses.

Yes it's great zuberdust but unfotunately the humidity is now arriving with it, and it becomes very uncomfortable moving around, just a 100mtr walk and the sweat is running down your face, chest, back, everywhere.
Last August here on one day the humidity reached 97%, can you imagine that!!!! it was like being in a Turkish bath.

Lots and lots of high factor, don't forget the after sun. It is never cool now, except for in the freezer

ZD-mint ice-cream-one of my favouritedswhich they don't have in Turkey, even though mint is abundant at the moment.

Can anyone tell me the logic of why it feels hotter at night?

The heat has just begun and here I am moaning!!

Summer weather forecasting in the UK is a lottery. Summer weather forecasting for the Bodrum peninsular is very simple: very very hot and sunny - guaranteed. Bring a hat and plenty of sun cream!

It is getting soooo hot , the temp in my living room at 10pm last night was 29deg. Getting hotter by the day.

 

[butt007]

The problem is a lack of insulation in the buildings, so the red hot sun shines all day and the concrete gets so hot, then the sun goes down and the temp drops, so it's lovely to sit on the balcony........ but.... go back inside and the walls are radiating heat into the rooms so, you sit there and swelter, unless of course you switch on the air-con then there's a fight to sit in front of it, ha,ha,ha.

Summer before last was the last I shall ever spend in Turkey, I was so ill with the heat. Yes I had the sun block, the water, the long floppy clothes, the stupid hat, the lot and all I got was 3 doses of heat stroke.
The stuff that probably saved my life was DYRALITE. its the little sachets of granules you get from any chemists in UK that you would usually take after a bad stomach upset It replaces the essential fluids (those unable to be replaced by Efes alone) and at least stops the upset stomach and spinning head.
Do please take some with you, it is so worthwhile if you don't get on with the heat too well.

You won't get rehydrated by drinking Efes, in fact it will make you even more dehydrated. Stick to water.

Yes I do realise that, I was actually trying to make light of a horrible experience, heatstroke is not a lot of fun and incomprehensible to those lucky enough not to suffer from it.

I second that. I got heatstroke once last Summer and it is very important to rehydrate with something like Dyralite (at least I think that's what it is called). Boots do their own cheaper equivalent but is essentially the same stuff. Tastes pretty awful but does the job.

Thunder here at the moment oh and the rain has just started. Glad my pool has been sorted as looks like I'll be in it a lot next week. Off to Boots now for the Dyralite

It has rained most of today here in Thornton-Cleveleys, wish I was off to Sunny Yalikavak next week, got to wait till 10th July. I too have put Darylite on my list, my hubby got heat stroke, in the Caribbean four years ago, he was very dehydrated and I'd packed some then. Thanks for the reminder PLDouglas.
