It rained heavily and was mostly cloudy. However, the temperature was high and there was occasional sunshine.
TijnThere were a few showers, but that only added to the charm. Warm enough for beach days, but cool enough for comfort.
Geert BrakelHumidity is high, so the heat can sometimes feel oppressive, but can usually be kept under control with adequate rest and plenty of water.
TessThe day is hot and humid, with heavy rain providing much-needed cooling. This unpredictable weather pattern can be both refreshing and frustrating.
