While the evening was mild enough to sleep with the windows open and a fan on, even with cloudcover the Saturday morning temperatures rose quickly, eventually reaching 37°C. It was so bad that a warning was issued due to a thermal sensation of around 44°C. Unfortunately, the ocean offered little relief for beachgoers with a water temperature of 31.4°C. Almost 2°C above normal. Conditions are expected to be the same this Sunday. It's important to stay hydrated with conditions like these. There's a chance of rain this Sunday, but it seems to be the same every day, and we watch storm clouds pass us by in the sierra or in the ocean to the south without any relief.

This evening it's still quite hot and uncomfortable, with no breeze anywhere except a slight breeze at the pier. The usually refreshing breeze at the pier from the sierra is now being blocked by the small hill the mayor has built at the pier entrance. The hits keep coming.

While there certainly are many visitors here, sales remain slow at best. It's too hot this evening to enjoy dining outdoors. Waiters look worn out, and diners are all fanning themselves and rushing through their meals. The Sirena Gorda had a small crowd of mostly foreigners listening to some good music, and La Porteña was busy as usual.

If you aren't following the Central American & Caribbean Games in beautiful Santo Domingo, you're missing out. Many talented athletes from Mexico are competing, including local javelin thrower David Ocampo who grew up next door to us. So far Mexico is dominating in the medals. ¡Vamos México!

Casi nadie aguanta el calor durante el mediodía en el Paseo del Pescador debido a tanto cemento y la falta de sombra.
