Freezing (retry)

During the first week we were here, the temperature reached 25-28 degrees Centigrade (77-82F) every day. Each day was very humid and with occasional rain. Coming from Chicago we were very hot and sticky, while some locals were wearing light coats.

Two days ago a cold front came through this area. Now, at 3 PM local, it is 11C (51F) and misty. Not a problem if you are in a heated apartment, but there is no heater here. So I just wrote my lesson plan wearing a sweater and a blanket. Too bad I don't have my gloves. [I know, next week I will hope for cool weather again.]

They have a different set of weather warnings. They have separate warnings for temperature falling, rain and lightening. The color range is: yellow, blue and black. For rain, yellow is heavy rain, blue is some flooding and black is major flooding (stay home if at all possible). Not sure what the temperature range is, but we qualified for a blue, a yellow rain and a yellow lightening warning. The warnings show on the top left of the TV, no break-in warnings.
