The neat thing is: It's a record high. It was literally never this hot before.
Not that these discussions are about facts at all, but now you have one to confront them with.
It may have been this hot when that asteroid hit, so I'm calling BS
i get to say this every year
but it's the coolest summer of the rest of our lives
Locally, not necessarily true. Globally, almost definitely.
Seems like every day we're getting coolest day of the month
This is El Nino, so ut might be less hot next year.
Great work!
"Fun" fact: this heat wave already has a Wikipedia page that also shows of the 22 affected areas only four (Austria, Jersey, Slovakia and Slovenia) have not (yet) recorded a record high temperature.
Damn.
God damn even.
Insane ay
That’s hot for Australia
Hot for much of the USA, not unheard of but still not to be fucked with heat.
It’s funny, you still see people having a shot about it not being that hot.
That’s a blistering day in Queensland, where I am. With our normal humidity, it kills. I’d imagine Florida would be a good comparison. Sure, I’ve routinely felt 44-45C in summer but fucking hell, in Germany that is truly insane
A comparison would be an above 45C day here.
The other issue too is UV level and how unaccustomed they are to tolerating and preventing that.
This may be a dumb question but is the UV level necessarily changed by the heat dome?

Germany has laws about requiring a certain heating level in the winter for safety and comfort reasons. I hope we can vote the CDU out next opportunity and talk about requiring a certain cooling level in the summer because it's dangerously hot in most apartments these days.
I won't rant about landlords here but like, if there isn't a law this change won't happen and people will die because of it. I can't imagine living in a Dachgeschoss right now. My last one got ~5-10 degrees hotter than outside.
There are legal limits above which you are allowed to withhold rent. I do not know them by heart since I live in a sunny but colder region of Germany.
So at some point the owner has to take measures to lower the temperature. Be it by installing better insulation or by installing AC. Also: you only have to prove it's too warm, the owner would need to prove you yourself are causing the heat, if they want to curb paying.
More insulation doesn't work. At some point it actively becomes more of a problem than a solution.
You HAVE to remove the heat inside some how or you just create an oven.

41.5 C is 106.7 Freedom units. That's too hot. Yikes.

We use two °° symbols because they remind us of bitchin’ truck exhaust pipes.
Nothing is quite so American as truck nuts.

Hang in there our German brothers and sisters, the heat finally broke in NL last night.
Of course, it's still 26C and 80% humidity, so YMMV.
just need to hang on for a bit longer and when AMOC fails the heat waves will be a much lower priority! \s

I'm in SWEDEN right now. YES, SWEDEN. It's morning, cool morning air, window fully open. 30 degrees. Hits 35 peak, usually. Absolutely insane.
