34.7°C (central Paris) with 43% RH.

GORGEOUS I am actually surprised at how much I love conditions which are that hot and that dry. I thought I'd have liked 30-31°C and humid much more, but this feels extremely nice as well.

Congrats to Paris for delivering at least one day of A+ weather.

Daily record highest min temp as well, with 21.0°C at Montsouris.

21/35°C THIS SHOULD BE THE GODDAMN AVERAGES

Now gonna enjoy my post workout meal and pass out in the garden

Apparently we're supposed to be getting an import of some sort of Spanish plum variety I heard. I think that's what I tried earlier but it was very bitter, sour and disappointing, left a bitter taste in the mouth.

Going out of an AC-ed building feels heavenly.

Hmm 34.7°C/43% is a low relative humidity but it isn't dry in absolute terms. It's still a 20.3°C dew point. Nice is muggy in summer, but when it gets hot it seems to dry out:

I have devised a new daily scoring system for my weather records, which is quite basic but does the job.

It assigns or takes away points with a starting point of 0, depending on deviation from average (because I like mild weather, above average gets more points, below average gets more taken away) and rain (generally frontal rain in particular) sees points deducted, but bonus points for convective rain or thunderstorms. Snow does get bonus points due to weather interest, but generally not enough to offset the negative points due to colder than average temperatures.

I haven't worked it out for that many days yet, to really get an idea what represents a "good" month or a "poor" month but it can be seen that any month averaging a negative score is clearly a poor month and one with a positive score is a good month.

As an example, yesterday scored +5 (against the 0 baseline) as the warmest max of the month and a sunny day, whereas today scored a pathetic 1.5 in comparison.

Overcast conditions are heavily penalised.

True. Looking at a few hot summer days in Nice, RH is lower than I thought.

High heat (32C+) is infrequent in Nice (though the avg hi is 28C) so most of my experience with it is associated with Asia, which is why I'm used to particularly high dews in that case (25C or approx 32C/65% which would be extremely typical in Singapore for example).

Fair enough in that case Paris can't compete. I'd really want to experience these 25°C+ dew points. Gonna book myself a flight to HK this August... Not.
