well JoJo it is technically spring but it was 37C yesterday pre-rain heatwaves are common during spring.
Our summer is an entirely different story. Blistering days and in the evening it will still be around 25-27C outside in the courtyard till around 23:00PM.
So basically HOT. But when you are acclimatized and use to it, barely notice most days heat.
About two years ago i forgot to put away the long candles and they were standing upright in their candle holders. Lets just say they looked like dying flower stems by the evening and were still flexible. It isn't that hot every day however, the extreme heat waves last about a week, sometimes 2 weeks at most, then it normalizes to about average days 31-35C.
There are several reasons we say :"Africa is not for sissies" the heat and heat exhaustion is one.
However there are places that get even hotter than here (not even desert areas). Where the tar melts on the roads and birds start dropping dead from the trees due to the heat. This does not however happen every year.
Fun fact: We can have all 4 seasons in a week, from -3C to 31C. We have had a few of those weeks between end winter and spring.
Increasingly strange weather in the last 10 years. Like tornadoes... we rarely have those. last two years we have been having more of them.
Our summers are for the most part highly enjoyable.
