My Journey to EF will start from the Sacramento, California airport at 22:00 Saturday night, and finish in Berlin at Andel's sometime Monday afternoon - a lot of time in planes, airports, and at least one train ride, stuck wearing the same set of clothes.
Should I pack for really hot weather, or for more typical summertime temperatures? Is the massive heatwave which we've heard about on the continent abated any; or if it has, is it likely to reoccur?

On a related subject - last year seemed to be "the Summer of the Wasps". I encountered them everywhere, they seemed to get into the food display cases at bakeries and at restaurant counters in Frankfurt, Berlin, Nurnburg and Munchen. Perhaps I just never noticed them in prior years. Has anyone noticed a particular increase locally so far this summer?
