All I know is, after two extremely disappointing Swedish summers, it's about damn time.
You are better off lowering your expectations and then you will not be disappointed
i'm telling you guys that i can not take any more heat,somebody stop this crazy sun ! i became almost unconscious today, and the problem is as i drink more water it gets worse, so someone stop this sun, please!
I miss the Summer evenings when you can go swimming at 10pm and it is still 30 or walk out (or be carried) of the pub at midnight and it is still 25 degrees.
Here even on the hottest day it is difficult to do little more than dip my toes into the water as the water is so cold (17 yesterday).
I for one am loving it, and sorely wish I was on holiday and not in the office.
I can't understand why people complain about good weather.
