Phew

It's warmer than Manchester! We've finally hit the 30 degree mark

It's warmer than Manchester! We've finally hit the 30 degree mark for the first time this year, and this has prompted the very same 'Phew' headline that British tabloid The Sun uses when temperatures climb out of the teens.

However, the Balearic Meteorological office has warned us that at the moment we are only in a 'heat episode' as opposed to the 'heat wave' that we had last year, when temperatures were 3 or 4 degrees above normal for four months! Then, the official description used for the climatic conditions was 'extraordinary' as unfortunately the term 'scorchio' does not actually exist here.

At the moment we are perfectly happy with our episode of heat because even though we like it warm, we don't like it that warm.
