I am so glad we are not there this week, far too hot to do anything but sit under the air conditioning.

I prefer it to sitting by the central Heating, a dip in the pool,
a nice cold Gin and Tonic with plenty of ice, and of course slim line Tonic, Lol.

Way too hot for me there right now, it was only just bearable last week. It just makes me so uncomfortable and energy less. (Probably an age thing too). When I'm cold I can always warm up, but when I'm hot it's so hard to cool down.  8)

I have slept on the balcony on a mattress for past 2 nights..It's been the best kip I've had in a while.

If the forecast is to believed it looks like you will be sleeping on your balcony for another week yet,Bernie.  :)

Bernie you are very brave to sleep on the balcony.  Next time you are in Lynda's Hippy Chick shop, ask her about the centipede that bite her face... Gives me nightmares thinking about this.

Yes Yabanci, 35degrees in the shade by 10am. So I'm surprised to see we are forecast rain on the 4th on the Accu weather phone app..
Lots of my Turkish friends sleep on their  balconies. Mine is overlooking my pool and the trees separate us from the hotel so I don't feel like I'm offending anyone by sleeping there.
Fingers crossed nothing wants to have a bite of me.

Don't blame you . Id do the same as long as it wasn't on the ground level , we had the patio doors wide open when it was hot once at a hotel where the room went straight on to an open stretch of land had a nights great sleep with the breeze blowing into the room. The patio door was firmly shut on the second night, it wasn't the giant spider that was in the room which did bother the better half. it was the snake that had been run over by a car outside that gave me second thoughts, pretty sure it wasn't the only one around.

2am and the wind is howling outside..This crazy weather..so no sleeping on balcony tonight..Hope it's not the ones where they bring the desert sands,and you are cleaning up for a week. These are warm so no respite from the ridiculous temperature it was this afternoon.

Bernie are you not under attack from the mozzies, sleeping on the balcony?
Title: Re: Heatwave
Post by: BernieTeyze on July 01, 2017, 01:17:59 AM
Not at all on balcony,  did get a few when out in Hisaronu for the evening.

This is like having a hairdryer set on hot, pointing at you..are they called the trade winds? All night they have been going, and no sign of letting up.
Guests are leaving in a couple of hours, the air con in that room is brilliant, that's where I will be for the foreseeable.

If people are going to post the temperature in Fethiye today I DO hope they do so accurately :(
Title: Re: Heatwave
Post by: Scunner on July 01, 2017, 17:19:23 PM
I agree. I remember once in 2006 it was 150C in the shade.
Title: Re: Heatwave
Post by: BernieTeyze on July 01, 2017, 17:22:55 PM
It is only me that has reported a temperature as far as I can see, is this in dispute? Unless the forecast from the Hurriyet is.
Title: Re: Heatwave
Post by: Highlander on July 01, 2017, 17:33:59 PM
Bernie - my post was not directed at you.

It was directed to those posting in the other place with figures that seem exaggerated.

We have of course been here before

Someone I know posted the temperature board outside the Water Park in Calis showing 51 degrees, but this is in full sun.

Couldn't post the temperature today it was off the top of my Temperature  gauge?

Maybe you should invest in one of these for your balcony Bernie. You should get a good nights sleep then.  ;)
