Well it's currently 35C here and gorgeous.. dew point in the 70s F as well, but it is quite comfortable as there is a sea breeze. Landing last night in the dark, you could feel the water in the air!

I knew Alex would avoid my question like the plaque. How can someone who lives in a run down area be an Airline pilot? They make at least £60,000 per year.
There's never anything as rude as ignoring people.
Alex lives in a rundown area. His father doesn't necessarily. Besides, he said he was a pilot, not that he is now.
I'm surprised the same doesn't happen to Australians - most of them I see are about as pale as most Brits, which probably explains the sky high rate of skin cancer.
We are always told to apply lots of sunscreen, wear hats, seek shade regularly etc. You guys should too. I see Brits at the cricket sometimes trying to get a tan on the hill at Adelaide oval, for example.
However, since we're pale, it's inevitable that we have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world.

I think you burn easier if you haven't been exposed to high angle sun than if you've built up to it a bit.

Well i'm white and I don't burn or tan. Sometimes I go a yellowy colour if i'm out for hours and hours.
I rarely burn. MY sister however, burns everytime no matter how much suncream we put on.
But you'd get sunshine whether it's hot or not here. You might actually get slightly more sunshine if not hot and humid, as there's often more clouds with high humidity.

And 27°C is still warmth.
27c is cold for holiday trips.
