I take a cold shower most afternoons and I'm sweating like Jimmy in a disabled kids ward by the time I pick up the towel to dry off 30°C is a normal day here in Barcelona, for 5 months of the year. The heat is not the issue though really, it's the humidity that kills you! Even the locals winge about it Go to Lleida and you get regular temps of 40°C+ but it's dry heat and doesn't seem to drain/effect you the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F1 is at Barcelona this weekend and the teams are worried with concerns that the tyres will blister like they did at the weekend at Silverstone. I don't think it's going to be that hot tbh but if it is can see it being fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not counting for spikes and individual areas, sounds right.. Come here and walk on the beach barefoot lol. I have to put socks on the dickhead, everytime we go to the beach. Otherwise he walks like John Cleese P.s. the F1 track is further inland and on the other side of the mountains/hills that surround BCN. The humidity isn't trapped, so the track will and does get fuuckin hot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
