Indeed, Colin, I just returned from the aegean isles to find out that my
site never went over 32.2C either -thankfully, these etesians do their work
properly and are greatly contributing to a very pleasant summer! Constant
near gale wind forces and wonderful waves in the sea, plus a spectacular
thunderstorm giving plenty of c-s (cloud to sea) lightning upon the boat's
entering the Saronic Gulf (Athens) tonight:

Average summer so far in Greece, with close to normal temperatures and
precipitation.
