What's WFA, DA? I haven't got nuts (I don't think) but yes, I will be sympathising with anyone who might have chilly ones.

The Spanish Met Office have confirmed that this July, in Malaga province, will be the hottest month ever recorded.

A persons body temperature is roughly 37,anything above that and the body is struggling to keep you cool,so its not surprising you can feel cream crackered for large parts of the day.Its 42c in the shade on our patio at the moment.It is wise to work early morning and late evening and to be kind to your body and rest when possible and as others have said its not just expats who struggle,all the spanish in the village moan about the heat in high summer and then we all moan about the cold or wet in the winter,including me!

You don't seem to get it: my poligon is located off grid. I cannot get electricity to it, it is impossible because it is 5 km from the grid and I have to apply to 3 different authorities to get permission. If one of them says nay, I won't get electricity. On top of that, I have to dig the cable underground, on my neighbors land. The cost for that alone is higher than to install a 20kWh solar system.
