Super dry season

Since it haven't been raining since june, it is now very dry and very warm. Schools are not allowing students to play outside between 10am-6pm due to the very dry and warm weather. I can only imagine what this means for all the elderly people or all the ones that have to work outside.
Temperatures up to 40 degrees and humidity down to 7%, which is the level of the deserts... Or to put it an other way - it takes around two hours to dry jeans after washing when its hanging inside. 
So, I and everybody else is longing for the rain to come, which will be very soon !

Ever since June, when I arrived at Brasilia, it has been sunshine with blue skies every day. For me that is just fantastic. Combine this with access to cold pools or public natural baths, its amazing.
As I am from Denmark, I am used to the summer being round 20 degrees and being lucky if there were several days in a row with sunshine. Most of the time its grayish and around 18-20 degrees in the summertime. Here it feels like summer all the time. 

For these last few days there has been a strange look in the sky. It seems like its foggy, with low visibility and sometimes there is a heavy breeze coming by. Its very strange. 
Check the morning picture below the foggy view.


This is only surprising for foreigners as there are air-conditions and humidifiers everywhere. Still the walk form your parked car to the air-condition can be very warm (if you are from a cold country). For me its a challenge just to wear long pants and closed shoes....
