Heatwave coming up

It looks like we're in for our first heatwave this summer. Yesterday the temperature began to rise, and for the following days the KMI (weather office) predicts temperatures up in the 30ties Celsius. We have a heatwave when the temp is above 30° three days in a row. And they already say it's gonna stay hot well into next week...

Yesterday and hopefully today we were able to stay outside on our terrace. There was a good breeze yesterday afternoon, which made it bearable. And today it looks like we're going to be able to put down some parasols so we can rest in the shade.

But when it becomes over 30° then the south facing terrace is just too hot by day. The only times when you can sit it is early in the morning for breakfast and late at night for drinks. For the rest of the day, you have to stay indoors. Before corona we used to take a walk in the shade (the big appartment blocks throw shade on the promenade until late in the afternoon) but now you have to wear a mask I just don't feel like doing it.

So most likely, the following days we'll be watching a lot of movies and series. We have a big collection of DVD's and there's always something you haven't watched for some time.

How do you cope with extreme heat?
