heat wave?
Its official! we are having a heat wave.
Holland has an official definition of a heat wave, if the temperature in De Bilt is above 25 degrees C for five days in a row (don't laugh) and three of those days also reach 30 degrees, then what you have is a heat wave!
Actually I can see now why they need the definition, otherwise you might miss it!
Since 1901 there have been 35 of these 'heat waves", which averages roughly to one every three years. This would explain why you never have that feeling of having had a summer here, just very pleasant springs!
So as of today, we are having a heat wave! Its all predicted to come to an end tomorrow though.
