We don't need air-conditioning down here in Curitiba. It's 1.000m above sea level. But this year it's been pretty hot. I manage to get in house temp. down to +27.2C. Lights off computers off, and outside temp. dropping to +17C will make it cool down for tomorrow that promises to reach +28C. We should had stopped using the Swimming pool by third week February. We've got an additional month of use. Leaves should be starting falling by now but I could see today that only the green has faded away a bit. The hydro power dams were at historical low. The additional rain has filled them all. Note that they are cascaded one after another so that all of them have to filled at the same time, and not leaving the Argentines Parana River downstream dry. Yes, perhaps we have an El Nino on the making. The hydro power is possible because the river starts 50Km from the sea but run inland. The mountain ridge at the cost block the water flowing straight to the sea. So a hell of a lot of water makes a big round trip all the way to the Rio de La Plata between Argentina and Uruguay.
