Summertime is here already in Hanoi. For me and Jo, summer brings many things.
For a start, our school doubles the number of hours teaching kids, so everything gets really manic for about 10 weeks with extra teachers, extra hours and more workload.
Coupled with that, the temperatures soar. Yesterday it got to 39 C (102 F), but the “feels like” factor (due to humidity) was 51 C (124 F).
And because of the extra demand when everyone switches on the aircon in desperation, the system is given rests (or maybe overloads…) and you get the powercuts with periods of no power (yes, no aircon) in the day and, worse, night.
And then you just have to hope for a thunderstorm to bring the nighttime temperature back down to a manageable 28 C (82 F)…
how do yoo work oot the feels like factor?
