Post by: francois on September 16, 2012, 08:11:28 am: I can't see myself in DV when temperatures reach the "old/new" record of 57°c. Having been there with 50°c was enough for me!

I found that temperatures are uncomfortable well into October and even later… January must be great but I never found the time to visit DV early, in January, February or March.

To my discharge, in Switzerland, we rarely see temperatures above 96F or 36°c!
