There are some amazing aspects about being home in South Africa. For one it’s the mild climate we experience.
Over the last 5 years I have been to places that at midday in the peak of summer we experienced temperatures that would make hell feel like a luke warm bath. 68°C in the shade while waiting for an aircraft to take off. No wonder those Arabs are an irritable bunch!
On the other scale I have also been to places where hell has frozen over and it was so damn cold that even the Eskimos buggered off and got the hell out of Dodge. -35°C not including wind chill.
So now I have to start laughing out loud when I hear people talking about, and having it broadcast on the radio, that Johannesburg is about to experience a severe cold front that is “moving in fast” and the max temperatures during the day will be a bitterly cold… wait for it…. 13°C. Yeah that’s 13°C not -13°C.
13°C? Some people would call that a mild summer’s morning in the UK
