It was a hot weekend, in every sense of the word. Though the temp was only around 28 degree C, it was so bloody hot that it created a burning sensation all over, when I went out. I was out in the street for about 45 minutes and even got skin rashes. Despite taking a cold-water bath and sitting near the fan, the irritation didn’t subside. Chennai’s 42 degrees is bad, but this one was more difficult to manage.
To be as a Lakshmipathy in a coastal town like Bournemouth on a hot weekend is a .. err.. well.. hmm.. (in the interests of MY safety, let me leave it as such).
28 degree C hot-ta……sir inga 41 !!
intha 41 degrees -la adichu pudichu pooi black-la Anniyan paatha….yen antha sad story-ya kekareenga ……
Chennaiyil rendu moonu naala veyyil rombavei athigam
Escaped to Kodai last weekend (team outing(!)). avangala paarthu poraamai pada veindiyathu thaan
Kaushik – I can very well understand Chennai veyyil… but this one is different. If 28 could cause this effect, wat wd happen if its 41 here.
Sriram – Thought that temp got a bit subsided by end of last month… seems that its reversing now.. sad!
Chennai le 24/7 /365 days its liek kathri veyil and sans water,Pavam chennaites.
Hai Chakra,
I’m Raji, I live in the UK too. I have enjoyed most of your writings, very informative too. (saw thalaivar’s movie thanks to your blog!
)
It was indeed a very hot weekend and the evening shower was rather welcoming. This is the first time in my relatively short stay in UK, that I prayed to the rain God to shower his blessing!
C’om Chakkra!..Mrs.Lakshmipathi couldn’t come back saying, “Bagga neenga vaechukittu irruntha??”..U can really be, “En Pondaati nejamaavae Oorukku Poidichu”..Lakshmipathy….BTW, what wud you do even if alone??that too in such a “hot climate”???…*winks eyes*
Anjali – howz the weather in Venus?
Raji – Welcome here.
Shower?? There weren’t any in this part of the country.. think u must be living in North, right?
Krish – I wd rather skip your questions.
yep, live in South Yorkshire
Hey same here.. 23 deg celciusla enna thunda kaanum thuniya kaanumnu oda vidudhu..
42 at chennai is seriously better.. I sweat like a pig here
Chakra, there are things that are said and there are those that are unsaid. But sometimes those that are unsaid say a lot and I could see that in your post
OH..this is human tendency to pulambify..
Chakra,unga veetu pinnadi thaane beach iruku..wear minimalest possiblest dress and ensoi..
Netru news :Inge NYC la schools were closed earlier coz of intolerable heat waves.Temps around 30C..
Hmm….Naama/Naan ellam school la padicha kaalathula…..

Skin Rashes? How come?.
One thought – Its the Sun’s Angle. My mother came to California a few years back and got sun burn.! Can you believe that.
In India, since the sun’s angle is rather shallow it is a little different. But UK and US are are in the Northern Hemisphere…and the angle is the cause.!
Good luck, stay indoors, have the sunscreen and coolers when you go out.!
Hi Chakra,
Unakku 28 degrees la oru pakkam rashes varadhu innoru pakkam moodu varadhu. Inga 42 degrees yerichchal mattum dhaan varadhu.
Lakshmipathi, thappu thandam onnum pannakkoodathu pa.
Chakra, Neenga seriousa Ahmedabad veyil miss paniteenga.
my co passenger was very ok with that. he is from jodhpur, where the sun goes down at about 8 in the evening.
that was the first time i experienced summer in north india.
sweating is healthy actually. Heat which does not cause you to sweat is N times more dangerous.
Mr.Lakshmipathy, onnum sariyillaiye…eppo Mrs. and Junior Lakshmipathy varaango?
Chakra
