But I've heared that in Athens it is hell too when it blows from the sea, because the mountains keep all of the pollution above the city.

Re: Weather reports in your area
It is hard to pick, which is worse.
Being hot and dry or hot and moist. I guess hot & dry is more tolerable because at least you can breathe...

Re: Weather reports in your area
I prefer it moist. But I would have thought that the wind coming from the west in Athens, as it comes from the sea, it would cool down things a little.

Re: Weather reports in your area
Really... I wish I could say. The weather has been all over the place recently. At work today just about everytime I looked outside there was some kind of different weather condition. It's mostly between sunny, cloudy, and occasional bursts of rain. I'd estimate the temperature at around 18c, there was a cold wind. It's still a little cool for this time of year.

Also that with high humidity and heat, rhum comes through very nicely. Similarly to whiskey with high humidity and cold.  It is nice and humid (73%) today. 72% in Dublin, 67% in Glasgow, 67% in Lisbon, ... compare to 25% in Madrid! Only a dissecated mummy would feel nice there.
