Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2015 2:22 pmEl Pais has warned this heatwave will last another week. Average temp for this time of the year is around 30C but has risen to 40C. Apparently, in Madrid, the ambient temperature is 50C due to the pavements heating up and the exhaust from cars. Must be horrendous.
They suggest sticking sheets in the freezer (in a bag) to help you sleep, using a "cold water bottle", sleeping alone and sleeping outside if you can as, although the night time temp may go down to 26C, the heat is trapped inside the houses so it doesn't cool down that much.
They also say putting a bowl of ice water in front of a fan will help cool you down and hanging a damp sheet over the windows. Not going out betwee 1200 and 1700 (bit drastic) and making sure you wear a hat and a good, high factor suncream.
Personally, I'm going to stick the aircon on and hope the electric bill doesn't go through the roof.
On the plus side, sticking the washing outside and it's dry within 20 minutes.
