nice pic WL ... is that the sea in the background?  i think we need another shot. :D

No sea in Jerusalem...

What you see in the background is a Palestine (and a Jewish Neighborhood within that territory)

Here's another pic that I took today, this time to the Israeli part of Jerusalem:

31c (89F) today in Jerusalem, hotter than usual this time of year, which is 29C (84F), but the humidity is low as always (40-45%) so it's quite tolerable. Especially becasue of the constant light breeze and since it becomes much cooler at night.

Haifa and Tel Aviv, OTOH, are pure hell during July and August.

That's why, among other reasons, we Jerusalemites won't trade places with those low-life Tel Avivians :P

BTW, DC in MUCH worse that Tel Aviv during August.

Somehow, we have avoided the real heat that the rest of the country has experienced, but damn is it huuummmmiiiiddd! (Where is the sweating smiley anyway?)

Now, we are going to be in the mid 90's the next week, and with it raining EVERY single afternoon(Today we must have gotten 2 inches) we will have to be about the most miserable place to live in the U.S.

I just got back from a fairly long bike ride (talking pedal bike here). Rode from my house to Jim's to feed the cats while Jim, Alison, and Zora are up north. Then from there I rode all the way into East Lansing, which is maybe 8 miles. Went to Barnes & Noble to look for a particular book, and browsed around for about half an hour. When I came back out just after 9 pm, I was dismayed to see it raining like crazy. :o But I figured there was no point in waiting for it to let up, since there was going to be standing water all along the route. I was plenty soaked when I got home.

Moral: check the weather reports before you leave the house!

It has not rained here for several weeks but showers are expected for the final stage of the Tour de France on the Champs-Elysees avenue this afternoon.

High will be 72C.

Brutal.  It's 90 still.  We're moving somewhere where it's 94 and the humidity is worse, but I can't wait, because then we'll have air conditioning...

Yeah, but where you're going, they ain't got indoor plumbing....

Damn...I think I should find an excuse to go to Seattle this week...

It's hot, humid and otherwise miserable here in Northern Va. It's supposed to be 98 tomorrow. JOY!

No rain, a little sunshine or whatever light that's able to get through. The entire frigging city's been enveloped in a thick haze for 4-5 days now. Quality of air is at 'hazardous' levels. :angry::(

Quite a climate shock for me. I spent 3 weeks in Malta, where temperatures were constantly over 30° C, and now I'm back in Luxembourg with the lowest summer temperatures I remember (10° in the morning, 16-20° during the day).

That's colder than winter in Malta!

That's how it's been most of the time over here too Claude; truly dreadful 'summer' weather. :tdown

We may have, what our British press like to call, an Indian summer, where the temperatures hit 25 degC for three weeks in September .
