:o Oh my God!!! That's far too hot for me and you've still got to get through August!
-
Seriously, I dont understand how Intellicast and Accuweather are saying its 31-2c and yet that display says its 53c!!!!!
-
Where in Fethiye is that? I'm not sure I recognise the building behind.
-
20 minutes from the Oyster residences apparently although I seem to recognise it from somewhere else ;)
-
It's not so much the temperature as the humidty, 57 percent according to MSN weather site.
-
Yes, last night it was 74% here in Uzumlu. I dread to think what it was in Fethiye. But, as I say, I don't understand that there are sites on the net giving temperatures considerbably lower than that photo.
-
If you believe accuweather, at the mom they are showing showers on Tuesday & a possible thunderstorm on Wednesday. That would be fantastic if it happens
-
The temps they gıve are always ın the shade temps. On our balcony at the mo (4.30pm) ıt ıs 33 degrees ın the shade. I was ın Fethıye today and boy was ıt hot. My wet towel wrapped round a bottle of frozen water came ın very handy.
-
Good tip Quackers, Chris wets a clean tea towel and then wraps it around one of those blue ice blocks you get with a freezer bag and pops that into a plastic bag. It comes in as a life saver when out and about in this heat.
-
Do you remember, George, when the first week of May seemed way too hot :D
-
I was just about to post a question about temperatures after someone just told me they've just returned from Olu Deniz and it was hitting 52! We've been checking weather sites daily and it's showing 33 - 36 for the next week! Obviously a little bit inaccurate.
See you tomorrow Calis Beach. ;D ;D
-
Something is inaccurate but which!!!

You can follow how the conversation about where this particular photo was taken (top of topic) is developing by following this link

I have a friend who worked for The Met. Office, and he told me that broadcasted temps, ( News progs. etc), are those taken at the local Met. Office at Noon in the shade !! Pick the bones out of that one !! 8)
-
I think the sensor for that display MUST be in full sun. Or at the very least, trapped inside that sign. Whereas normal temperatures are taken in the shade.
Having said this, I will say, it is very hot and sticky here and I will be glad when things cool a little, or at least, get less humid.
-
Bet you all wish you were in U.K (not) ,warm 19-20 ish chance of rain !
:) (Can't wait till October ) Calis for a week .
-
That photo has been doing the rounds for the last month or so, it has been photo shopped so many times I have lost count. I do not for one minute think that it is in Fethiye, Calis or anywhere else nearby.
oh hold on here it is....
Even hotter than you thought.

Definitely genuine

I have to say i hate it when i see on facebook '53 degrees in ____' yes, its bloody hot but temperatures on the weather forecast are ALWAYS in the shade, and that's what everyone normally goes by. Of course its going to be a lot hotter in direct sunlight. My dad had a watch that told the temperature and its said 40+oc in England before because its a glass watch face, obviously its going to get very hot in the direct sun.
Doesn't change the fact its boiling though, we live in karagedik and have to walk 15mins to the nearest bus/shop/anything lol, going out to get food or for a walk is a mission! Don't have aircon either, the fans on 24/7, can't wait to see our electric bill, eeeeek.

Ok, No Probs.
For the last week, on our shaded patio it was around the 35 mark. With no wind the current high humidity makes it seem like double.
In the sun with no shade it actually can go to 50, but all official measurements are supposed to be in the shade.
