56 C

The thermometer on his terrace registered 56 degree C today !  Tomorrow he will try the experiment of leaving an egg in a frying pan on the terrace at 3 p.m. to see if it will actually cook !  The temperature keeps rising and when the rains come, there will be a deluge with low-lying buildings flooded by meters - then they will wait for the level of the water to go down and begin the job of cleaning all the mud away...everything is so labour-intensive !  Do they exchange their summer flip-flops for wellington boots ?
