Summer usually means the heat lasts longer than two days which this latest spate won't....

I believe @Anonymous was referring to the UK summer, which is normally two days of sunshine and a thunderstorm, which is what's about to occur. Comparing Spain's summer to the UK's is like comparing chalk and cheese.

Of course.....but I thought I would comment anyway....However, as so much about the weather is being posted I will 'cease and desist' as the saying goes...

People dont describe a spate of hot weather here as summer anymore, its always heatwave.

I just find it really annoying.....maybe the heat is going to my head!!

What you were really doing, @Cleoriff, is lording it over us here because you're having a real summer.

Seeing as I'm Scottish .. And can't comment much on summer ( which normally falls on a Tuesday) :smileytongue:...we had snow in 1987 which was above knee level!. And I include non- vertically challenged people in that :smileywink:x

There have been a few occasions in my younger days when we have started the cricket season in snow....I think that's why we associate red balls with cricket...:smileywink:
