That reminds me of a funny little story:
The city of Gothenburg hosted the world championships in athletics back in 1995. The weather was just marvellous at that time with no rain at all, and temeratures (steady, all of the time) between 28° to 33° C (82°F-92°F) or something.
It is very unusal for us to have such temperatures. There was a Brasilian reporter here to cover this event. He reported back to his country about this happening and added a note of warning:
"Do not travel here in august because it is too hot at that time of year."
This story gives me a smile on my face everytime I think of it.
