We've officially got an heatwave today in Holland. 5 days more than 25
centigrade, including 3 days 30+. The last time this happened in June was
1976. Can't remember, must be the heat = :-)

I've worn shorts since last Saturday and according to the local weather
station it's been at least 30 celsius every day since then.......

Eh? Don't you remember the Summer of 2003? I do(n't), I was at a
Scouting event near Haarlem, and the weather was so hot I had a trip
by ambulance to hospital :-(

Locally, like fen4b0y says, it has been (longer) warmer but the *official*
heatwave is measured in De Bilt by the KNMI (the Dutch *Metoffice*). The
temperature is measured in a white wooden box, approx 1 meter above the
ground. It might be 30+ centigrade for 30 days in Haarlem but that doesn't
mean it's an*official* heatwave.
Rules, rules, rules. Holland is an overregulated country :-(
