Boss, sit down and hold on tight, because I caught a piece of news that made me put down Fane's cold beer and run inside to the AC. For real, bro, this heatwave is grinding us to dust! Monday at 2:00 PM, in Timisoara it felt like 44 degrees Celsius - yeah, you read that right, 44! And it's not the only city: Oradea, Arad, Braila, Botosani, Sannicolau Mare, Oltenita, and Banloc also hit 43 degrees. In Bucharest, at the same time, it felt like 42 degrees, after being 41 an hour earlier. Man oh man, it's like we're in Dubai, but without the pool and with my BMW sucking in hot air through the window!
The meteorologists say the heatwave is hitting the west, south, and east of the country. By 1:00 PM, it was already a disaster: Braila, Oltenita, Banloc, and Sacuieni - 43 degrees felt. Timisoara, Oradea, Arad, Botosani, and Satu Mare - 42 degrees. I mean, bro, you step outside and feel like you're in an oven. And what do the authorities advise us? Drink fluids, avoid physical effort, and protect your head. Well, duh, otherwise we'll be swimming on the sidewalk! Mioara, my wife, already grabbed the fans and told me: 'Costel, don't go out on the terrace anymore, you'll melt like an ice cream in the sun.'
Now, seriously speaking, the heatwave will persist in the coming days. They've issued red and orange codes for several counties. Me, bro, I don't know what to believe anymore. Two years ago we were freezing, now we're roasting. Clearly, something is rotten in the atmosphere, not in Brussels, but in the sky. Until then, I'm going to make Brian a cold drink and check if the AC in the BMW still works. Who pays the electricity bill in the end? Us, the Romanians, with this 44-degree heat!
