Torrential summer

The flood

I know I’ve said it before, but the weather we’ve been having this summer is truly crazy. Floods in late June, chilly evenings in the middle of July… frankly, it’s wonderful. A typical summer in Antalya consists of heat stroke warnings from May until September, and being trapped indoors during daylight hours for three months straight, stewing in a puddle of your own sweat and praying for a quick death. This, by contrast, has been a most unexpected and welcome change. I’m actually enjoying a Turkish summer, for once.
