WHAT? You lucky bastard. :'( where are you exactly? Meanwhile I'm stuck in goddamn subarctic Parisssssssssssss for another 3 months, my most hated 3 months of the year on top of that
But but but... Aren't med climates supposed to have desert-like humidity?
Malta is basically a stone in the middle of the Mediterranean which means that the entire island is effected by the Sea. Most of the Mediterranean countries where stations are away from the coast do have very low summer humidity levels. Not desert like (Phoenix yesterday had a peak heat RH level of 10%), but still very low.
Mean Max: 78 F/26 C (5 F/3 C above average)
Mean Min: 53 F/12 C (3 F/2 C above average)
Mean: 65 F/18 C (3 F/1 C above average)
Highest Max: 91 F/33 C (2nd)
Lowest Max: 61 F/16 C (13th)
Highest Min: 71 F/22 C (1st)
Lowest Min: 39 F/4 C (23rd)
Precipitation: 0.96 in/24 mm (3.48 in/89 mm below average)
The first week of the month was hot and humid with two days reaching 90 F/32 C. It was noticeable after a relatively benign summer. Ten days reached 90 F/32 C this year. 1981-2010 annual average is 12.
We could use some rain as we've enter D0 drought criteria (abnormally dry) according to the US Drought Monitor.

I'm in Antibes. Only 3 months left in Paree? Where are you moving to after? I heard that today was quite different from the past few days there. Way to go, this is autumn after all. Don't you agree?

Yup I know but people not familiar with the Med assume that coastal places have low RH% as well just looking at precip numbers. Coastal areas are quite populated and what most people have in mind when the think of the Mediterranean.

Do you prefer Nizzzzzzz winters over the Parfffffffffff ones? Or are they equally poor?
I'd rather be in Paris till April. I particularly love November with its chill and gloom. The closer to -1/-8°C, the better, so Paris hands down, even if it sucks. Nizza's winters are atrociously mild and sunny. I cringe whenever I look at the climate box. Sure, Paris has nonexistant winters, but at least the constant overcast skies and, above all, the bare trees remind me that it's neither spring nor autumn. On the other hand, Nice has a summer. And that should count too.

Phoenix may be in a desert, but it still managed to get 19 days with thunder from July through September this year. Phoenix averages 24 thunderstorm days a year, and Tucson 43.

Parisian in exile, then. But so are France's 65 million people a far cry from Finland's 5,5.
Do you know anyone from there, or is the city completely a new adventure?
Yeah, Parisian in exile, at least for now. Though my comment wasn't serious, I have nothing against Nissarts. I only know one guy I used to hang out with. He studies near where I work. Not what I would call a close friend though.
