38 degrees under shadow, stay half an hour under sun you will see if you dont go unconcious 
I remember those lovely days well! Afternoon siesta, with the window shutters closed and laying on my bed enjoying the shade, ready for the late afternoon / evening walks into Valletta, or going to Sliema; ah. great days!! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

very nice..
but if you have to work in a job dress its :-/
When I went to school it was always in a light cottton dress, and every classroom had ceiling fans, so it was just great
.
During breaks we used to play in the wonderful heat, but I don't know if I could do that now.
Lizzie, 20 years ago hot was of no importance to me..but now if I stay more than 1 hour I really feel uncomfortable and need a shade..and too much water..
I always used to wonder Cem why the old of Malta generally stayed in the shade. Now I know that as you get older you withstand extremes of temperature far less.
But I, perhaps as I was born into 102 degrees of heat, still love DRY heat, but hate the very humid temperatures we can get in the UK that are a fraction of what I am used to abroad. British houses are not designed and furnished for heat either, unlike say the houses and flats I lived in during my years in Malta. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
