Beautiful weather, but far too hot

Views of the vineyard under such clear skies are nice, but you can see how the grass along the dirt road is dry and turning brown. Weather forecasts for the next 10 days in the Loire Valley say that we'll have two days with a high temperature of 94ºF, and eight days with temperatures ranging from  95 and — gasp! —
106ºF (on Sunday June 21).

  2. We had a similar heatwave at exactly the same time last year. I remember it well because Nick was in the UK and I was having to manage garden watering, dog walking and everything in the heat by myself while he chilled in cooler temperatures. It was no fun.
    This time, I'm in England enjoying 22°C while he swelters chez nous.

  3. Wow 106! I hope that doesn't materialize and that more reasonable temperatures head your way.
