The El Nino heatwave in KL is not improving any bit. It’s getting hotter, drier and hazier by the day. The acrid smell of haze is more pronounced today. The temperature for the past few days have been on the high side, so bad that I do not feel like leaving my seat right under the ceiling fan with two stand fans blowing at me at full blast. Swimming at 6:30 in the morning feels like swimming in a heated pool.
The blazing sun is making the plants at our balcony struggling to survive. The pandan plants in the gardens of our condo compound are starting to turn brown despite being watered daily by the gardeners. Now I have to resort to buying pandan leaves from the supermarket.
I do not feel like going anywhere during the day but to hibernate at home. Being a WFHM where doing house chores is inescapable, I sweat buckets everyday. The thought and sight of getting into the balcony to hang and collect the laundry can already make me perspire. The torid outside air blown into our house is making me sick. It feels like having a speed #3 hot air from the hair dryer blown directly onto you all day. Albeit having 5 showers a day and having 3 to 4 changes of clothes daily, I still have prickly itch everywhere on my body caused by the heat. If only I can, I would want to be in absolutely nothing but my birthday suit during the day 😀
The temperature today is 36 degrees Celsius but the number is deceiving. The Real Feel temperature is 42 – 43 degrees Celsius and I think that this is the actual day time temperature.
I am thankful that I have my hydrogen infused water and carotenoids supplements to keep us healthy during this heatwave. Many people are falling ill and resorting to antibiotics to get well, only to fall sick again. If you are one of them or know of someone battling with an illness now, do spend some time to read this article on Why you should worry about giving your child antibiotics too early
I wonder when the heatwave will dissipate. I can’t wait for the next thunderstorm to lash on our land lavishly to bring some respite to the killer heatwave and to avert another water rationing. To my readers living abroad and experiencing bitter cold weather and wishing that there was some sunlight and warmth, I wish we could swap places now! 🙂
