It was 38°c the last time I went to Pisa (five years ago now, fuck) and that was utterly miserable at times. Can't even begin to imagine 10°c on top of that.

Pisa is notoriously shit during the summer, it's in the middle of a valley and a big slow river runs through it. The humidity in Pisa is insane, and mosquitoes are active 24/7.

My sister lives there and I refuse to visit from June to September.

Ha, it wasn't that bad when I went but it was during May! A day in luca (I think?) was the hottest day, and Florence was just eurgh.

Being a Brit, I naturally moan about the weather a lot. It's a different kind of moan nowadays, as it now seems to be humid and uncomfortable more often than not.
