i never understand this false” measures. i always, repeat always! measure higher number what they said. my tempmeasures are not good or what?
in fade yesterday was 28C° around the austrian border.(not on highland.)
until 13o’clock when they massively start the spray and the first cold breeze just arrived after.then huge windwaves.temp went under 22, but felt much colder, because of chemical crystal.
i was very surprised when i woked up to this and the smell was like at summer and i was without shirt and shoe outside. but it last not long..
