adventures in Morocco - temperatures

i went to Morocco for the first time, last week. prior to going, i'd checked what temperatures to expect. all the books and websites clearly stated that normal temps for end of April were at around 25-28°C. nonetheless, real time temps were expected to reach the high 30s. well, ok, that was doable. except that when we got there, it was 47°C! i kid you not. it only took us a day to get used to it, though. what really killed us (well, me) was when temps came back to 'normal'. with 30°C yesterday, i wasn't feeling all that warm...
