The heat is on

We are enjoying (suffering) a heatwave at the moment with temperatures breaking all records for July. 37 C (98.6 F) yesterday afternoon in our backyard.

Sofietje is knocked out in the garden and so are we.

She only lifts her head occasionally. Saturday seems to become the worst day with 40 C (104 F).

  1. Just read about the heat wave yesterday. I think someone must have invented iced tea during a heat wave. :-)

  2. Oh Dear, hope you have lots of iced tea - sure does the trick.....n a dip in a pool is good too. We are certainly not having a heatwave as many days now the temps here average down to 30 - 45 degrees. We have had a FEW warm days, but not enough to make a difference for farmers planting. I am looking forward to summer sun soon I hope. Have a cooling day.

  4. Your cat has the right idea; relax and stay immobile 'til the heat wave subsides!

  7. Aww poor Sofie, and with her fur coat too :( Do you have air conditioning Marianne? It's almost essential here. Hope you find a fun way to keep cool over the weekend.

  8. You're temperatures are most uncomfortable and concerning in relation to global warming.

  9. Poor kitty.... keep her watered, she needs it.

    I remember being told my grandparents once going to the Netherlands during a heatwave. Temperatures they had gotten used to living here were killing people there.

  10. Sorry but I like it hot. That's my kind of weather as long as it isn't humid. I have an article that states "Cats rarely suffer during a heat wave. A cat, whose normal temperature is 101.5 (F), usually stays quite comfortable until the outdoor temperature reaches 110 degreesF."
