Well, beloved readers, we’ve limped, crawled, and possibly melted our way to Friday. And not just any Friday: it’s August 1st, the month where your flip-flops stick to the pavement and your car’s steering wheel becomes a medieval torture device.
For our Orthodox Christian friends, the big question looms: to fast or not to fast? (Shakespeare would’ve loved this one.) Don’t worry, it’s just 14 days of pretending to be vegan. As I sip on my freddo espresso and wonder if iced halloumi is a thing (it should be), I salute you all.
Weather forecast: The Sun is still winning (but winds want a piece of the action)
Temperature: 36°C - Hold onto your sunhats, strong winds incoming!
A seasonal low-pressure system is lurking about like that one cousin who shows up uninvited to BBQs.
Today: Mostly clear skies will give way to some clouds in the west and north. Winds will start off shy (3-4 Beaufort) before flexing their muscles in windward areas, hitting 5–6 Beaufort. The sea will be doing its best impression of a shaken cocktail: slightly rough to rough. Expect 36°C inland, 31°C on the west coast, 33°C elsewhere, and a cool-ish 30°C in the mountains (lucky them).
Tonight: A bit of cloud cover, possibly some thin fog, and winds calming down to 3 Beaufort. The sea mellows out, and temperatures will dip to 24°C inland/coasts and 19°C up in the mountains.
Weekend outlook: Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will remain mostly clear with occasional cloud drama. On Sunday and Monday, the mountains might get a surprise shower, nature’s way of saying, “Here, have a sprinkle.” Temperatures will stubbornly stick around their current values.
So, dear readers, hydrate, find shade, and if you’re fasting, may your veggie game be strong. August has only just begun, and we couldn't be happier!
