B"H
Why talk about the weather ? Sounds just like some English guys are standing together and start their usual subject.
These days, however, our lives are (again) influenced by weather. As soon as we step outside, we start sweating and loose any kind of energy we had before. Instead, we only sweat and think about taking another shower.
Yesterday and today, Jerusalem suffered from a heat wave of 38 degrees Celsius. I have no idea how much this is in Fahrenheit but it should be at least about 90 F. Tel Aviv was basically the same but, additionally, suffers from a high percentage of humidity. Walking in the streets feels like walking into a green house.
Today I have had the privilege of "enjoying" both cities. In the late afternoon I was teaching some children in Jerusalem and then went back to Tel Aviv. The trip back went fast, as the highway was almost empty.

The forecast says that temperature is going down in the course of the day tomorrow. I just wonder how people in biblical times dealt with that kind of heat without any air condition or a fridge.
