Eh... 100+ degrees is pretty common in much of the US during summer. Every state in the union has broken 100 degrees and the majority do so every year.

The bigger one, is only a handful break 100 degrees and stay there for extend periods. And only a handful break 100 AND have 90% humidity to go along with it.

The Midwest can be a real bitch and give you 100 degrees and 90% humidity one day and snow the next some times. It's great!

It’s really not, 100+ days aren’t common except in the desert southwest and Texas.

41.5 is 106 degrees.

It’s hot, even for the USA, but the real issue is these areas don’t have universal air conditioning like we tend to in the USA.

They aren’t being wussies or just not used to it, these are dangerous temperatures regardless of where you are.

Not only is there no air conditioning, but the average house is really well insulated, which is great in winter but can make it really difficult to cool your house down in this kind of heat

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

The good news is a well insulated house is easier to keep cool when/if retrofitted with split zone heat pumps.

The bad news is we’re gonna throw Europe past the climate range where heat pumps do the jobby.
