51 degrees in Turkey heatwave:-

Annika Blessing reveals what it’s like to vacation in a hotel in Turkey with temperatures of 51 degrees Celsius.

– This Sick Hot, she summed it up.

Then she elaborates:

– It’s very hot. If you step into the ocean, it’s like stepping into a bathtub.

– Bathing in sweat

At first, the traveling group of three families couldn’t believe what they saw on the big thermometer in their hotel – it showed 51 degrees at its hottest.

Then Ashirwad and the accompanying staff asked if there was anything wrong with the temperature measurement.

– They said “No, that’s fine”. On the occasions when we were foolish enough to eat lunch outside, we sat and showered in sweats. It flows, flows and flows as you try to get the food.

– When you spoke Television 2 Before today, you said you were determined to be happy. Can you do this?

– Yes, indeed, at least twice a day I think, “We’re doing amazingly well with this.” We are in a good mood and have a glass of wine. But, of course, it is very hot.

Even Annika’s 17-year-old son is taking it “in surprisingly good spirits” — even after three days of fever.

And now he is on the mend again.

– Too much heat

Even for healthy people, something happens in the body at 51 degrees.

– You still move a little slower, but at the same time you move faster, because you want to be as close as possible to the small shaded areas, says Annika Asherwadham.

He explained to TV2 what this leads to:

– There are no more close boundaries here. If there is shade somewhere, people will gather.

measured above 60°C

At night, it is more than warm enough, above 30 degrees.

– We have complained about the air conditioning as it is not working optimally. But for those who live here, it’s like home. Air conditioning cannot be removed. It works and works, but it’s not cool enough.

– Damn sweat

During the day, the 12 members of the expedition explored the local environment despite the heat.

– We took a local bus into the city center and tried to make the most of it, despite the unbearable heat, says Annika.

When asked by Dagbladet what the feeling of 50 degrees could be compared to, she had to think about it. She mentions the feeling you get from opening an airplane door in a hot place in the south, and the heat hits you.

– We have that experience all the time.

– What’s the worst thing about heat?

– You are constantly sweating profusely all over your body, constantly walking, sweating so obnoxiously that your clothes stick to your body.

Introduces Siesta

A last resort

Getting sunburned on the skin is bad.

– If you find sand without shade you will be in pain for a few minutes.

– And what’s the best thing about heat?

– Norway may lack perfect summer sun, but it’s very hot here.

On Thursday, the Turkey holiday is over and Annika is going home to Norway. Thus, she and her team get another try at frying the egg with the help of the sun.

She sends a photo of her first attempt to Dagbladet and doesn’t have to explain further why no one wants to taste the dish.

– Let’s try again tomorrow, on some hot tiles in the hotel area.

The inevitable question

– But the inevitable question: Will Side be back in Turkey next summer?

– Maybe. But not in July or August. Annika Ashirwad says we have talked to local heroes that they must come in June or September, October.

— but not in July, she insists.
