How sticky can it get?

The first day of summer brought first-day-of-summer-type weather to Dakar. Keeping in mind that I’ve never been in Dakar in the summer, I really don’t have a clue what the weather is like here. My internet explorations produced such annual temperature ranges as 68-86. It was a fact reported by a trusted source like Wikipedia, so why should I question it?

Question everything.

The temperature yesterday was 92; today it was 89 with 86% humidity. Maybe Wikipedia got the temperature and the humidity mixed up.

But it definitely beats Switzerland’s first day of summer, where the “real feel” of a west 51 was only a little above 40. On the first day of summer?

Can we blame BP for this? Or is it the druids dancing at Stonehenge who are responsible?

Gotta go turn on the AC and get under the covers.
