Whenever I look at weather sites to prove to my friends how hot Poland can be in the summer I'm always left perplexed as to how meteorologists calculate seasonal averages.

I looked at one website today and it states the average temperature in Warsaw for August is around 19 degrees celcius.......London was about 21 degrees C.

It is because polish girls raise the temperature by 5 degrees minimum,sth that meteorologists cannot calculate.

Two years ago we had 42 degrees. It was over two days. The last few summers have seen temps of 38/39 and even 40 degrees. No-one believes it, but it's true.

Yes, the summers are pretty hot in the last decade or so in Poland. My family says so. And, they have no air-conditioning in homes or cars. It is still too expensive to have one. I understand that some official building are air conditioned.

I bet you needed new glasses at that time.

Yes, but maybe this is even better... better for environment, nobody tells us to save energy... but in many new cars, in offices also in some universities halls there is air-conditioning.

It's changing very often, so average is not so high. Last summer the whole July was over +30C but most of August was +16-18C. Besides I think that oficial temperature is in the shadow and that's average from different parts of a day.
