August 09, 2020 - Come this way.

Just like in many other parts of Europe, we are going through the most likely hottest days of the year, with temperatures reaching easily above 40°C locally. It's hot!
It was already nearing 30°C at 9h30 this morning when I arrived at the boulder of "Les Braqueuses" in Rocher du Télégraphe, and even though the problem was in the shade, there was no breeze to cool down the body.
Nevertheless, I made it a quick ascent, which wasn't a luxury with the raising heat.

We barely saw any rain since the end of June and the soil is as dry as can be, so we are in a desperate need for rain. There was some hope when the clouds turned really dark about an hour ago and a distant thunderstorm could be heard.
I watched the rain fall in the horizon and even a rainbow came and peak, but unfortunately it just didn't want to come this way.
