Every year my friends who have lived in this country far longer than I have assure me that the bank holiday i.e. August 15th is the turn around for the weather and that it will in fact improve - no not hotter thank goodness - Is this really true or just a fallacy? I remember my first year here it was still very hot and even more humid right through till the end of September!!!! Don't you also think that July and August were the wrong way around this year too? Roll on the cooler weather is all I can say.

Keep cool out there guys.

I found July this year very unbareable, whilst August hasn't been that bad, still very hot, but not as humid.

Sorry to contradict, but the temperature is well down, even under average, for the past 2 weeks, but the humidity is abnormally high, making it very uncomfortable. As I write, the temp here is only 32.7°C but the relative humidity is a whacking 54% - and that's inland! On the coast, it's 70-74% (see http://www.cypenv.org/weather/index.php). Compare that to the RH on 9 July of this year, when the RH dropped to a record low of 7%. I suggest that, inland, the usual RH for temps in the mid-30s is about 15-20%, not in the 50s.

The last week of July had both high temperatures and humidities. Here, the temp rose to 42.4° on the 28th but the most uncomfortable day was the 31st, where the heat index rose to 48.2 (the HI is derived from a combination of temperature, humidity and wind speed and represents what the temperature feels like to a human under conditions of normal humidity and wind). In fact, the real temperature hardly touched 40°, even though it felt like 48° because of the high humidity. The current heat index is 37.4, with the temp less than 33°, so you can see that it is higher by >4° because of the humidity.

Thanks for that. I knew it was cooler in our house but only as we are keeping the elecricity board going for another hundred years by having our a/c on far more than usual!! Sorry, I know I should be more aware of saving energy etc, but honestly I am the world's best when it comes to energy efficiency but we had to have to a/c on otherwise we would have sweated ourselves right off the planet! Do not want to see the bill when it comes in either.

Do you reckon if the whole island turned their a/c's off for a whole day we would be cooler? We should or is that just my silly logic?
