Low to mid 90s is typical in the hotter parts of the country in July and August. But dews are usually in the 40s and 50s and there is almost always a decent breeze blowing.
Southern Europe goes into its dry season in summer, so I would see rain like twice in all of July and August while there.
I don't know if it's as much of ploy as it is a boneheaded decision.
The tidbits colors are ok.
The weathermodels map is not so good.
But Pivotal takes the cake for worst color scheme. It has deep red for temps in the upper 60s. GTFO with that nonsense.
