I suppose it depends what weather you moved for 8-) In Madrid the day time highs for June July and august range between 24C and 40C. It's already gone up to 23C this week so it seems to be settling down again. Just wish we could get rid of the blummin wind we've got here, it's due to stay for at least another four or five days >:(

"I suppose it depends what weather you moved for"
Can you imagine the looks you would get if you announced I am moving to Spain hoping to catch the coldest weather in the world !

As it was only for one day I should think people would think that you were a swivel eyed loon 8-)

But of course, us being Swedish, looking to buy a house in the Tortosa area, to flee our horrific winters, Spain comes up with the coldest capital in the world. Even if only for a day.

go figure.

Not just Spain. Am in la Gironde (SW France) looking after French friend's dog and house while they are in Quebec (22 degrees and cloudy!) and it is 18 with rain on and off! If this keeps up for another two weeks you can write-off the Bordeaux vintages for this year except for vin ordinaire! At least not as bad as Huddersfield today, 14 and rain!

Nice amount of rain here in Jesus, during the night.
Just over 1 inch.
Saves us watering the garden today today!
Now to look forward to the dreaded flies?
