| mmmm… so you’re saying that most of us are older and weaker? May be is in the other way around! Seriously, I think precaution is good, but exaggeration is not. The heat waves in the last few summers has been a recurrent trend and I don’t think just in Europe. My recalling from precedent years is that June and early july is getting hotter in Spain than mid-july and august. I don’t think this is too much different that what we had other summers or if we compare with BKK in March, where you add the humidity factor, is much different. The hotel has completed a big renovation during the pandemic, and that included the air conditioning systems.I’ve been there many times (also the secretariat a month ago) and was very comfortable (and they had some big events with hundreds of participants during some the visits). The hotel also will offer a lot of watering points, including a mix of fountains and water bottles. I will suggest the participants to bring their own refillable water bottlers to avoid plastic waste, as we did in previous events and of course, if you walk around Madrid, stay hydrated. Also a recommendation to avoid the peak sun hours in the street and avoid doing outdoor sports during that time. I will say those peak hours in that part of the city are 14:00 to 17:00. Also, in summer in Spain we have frequent “summer storms”, which tend to moderate the temperature. By the way, the secretariat told me that I will be handling the weather desk next to the registration, so I can take all the wishes and complains about the weather. If you know rain and weather dances or any other tricks that I can play with, you need to tell me; I need to learn them quickly! Here is a link to the Madrid climate info:
