Very - it can be very hot - was there 19 December 1981, landing at 14:00 (GMT)
and after a cold drink left promptly.
Mind you I was using a C152 - too much plasti-glass - temp was way above 40c.

Went again to drop someone off but using a C340P - a lot quicker to get there
and only 10 minutes on the ground - and that is with Air Con fully operational
at a reasonable 20c approx.

Have not been back since.
