Yesterday's reported high was 36 degrees Celsius. Today at 11:45am we're looking at overcast and 34C/94F.
August 1st is the day the Swiss celebrate the formation of the Swiss Confederation in 1291. It's a holiday in Switzerland. And last night, extravagant firework displays across the border kept us all up into the wee hours.
Half an hour ago, Ezio eyed the black clouds bearing down on us from Viggiona over the ridge, and noted that there's always a storm on August 1st. Now I'm indoors, sodden, while the rain crashes down and all the internal doors in the house are propelled closed at once by the wind.
