Much cooler start, though we were back up to 85° in the office in the afternoon. 87° is too much, 85° is nasty but sustainable, 83° is hot, 71° is nice for sitting and working, 68° is too cold for that, 65° is too cold to sleep in. Then it's outdoors, and in Celsius - 7° is the upper limit for gloves, hats etc, 0° is cold enough to make you hurry, -4° has the cold striking up through your shoe soles.

Unpleasantly hot, but NE breeze stopped it from being worse. A lot of dried-up plants and trees with yellow leaves about, I've noticed. Also, the tidal bit of the river is, at low tide, just a stream in a sea of mud. You could jump across the actual flowing bit.

Back to work. Apparently it was nastily hot last week, 95° in some offices.

Carried on with Burmese Days, ideally suited as reading for this weather.
