Due to get hotter

For those of you in the UK who claimed that the recent heatwave made England hotter than Spain read this:-

The Health Councillor Says despite “suffocating” heat it is not technically a heatwave yet. The Health Department has announced that temperatures will reach new highs in several municipalities across Alicante province, including Orihuela. Information from the Centro de Estudio Ambientales del Mediterráneo (CEAM) has decreed that temperatures of 38 degrees celcius put the area on ‘level orange’ which is a high alert, with the sea at 28 degrees.

It isn't just the high temperatures though; the humidity has been high at 70%. The air-con unit in our bedroom dried out 10 litres of water yesterday and the one in the lounge a similar ammount.

In Carrefour yesterday their bargain Firstline split units at 168€ were selling out fast. With a D rating for consumption, I hope the buyers were aware that their electricity bills could be very high. Our Sharp Eco-Inverter units have an A rating so our bills should be more reasonable.
