The highest temperature on this map is 37 degrees (south of Spain). Other places barely reach 30. This is definitely not a heat wave. Where I live the summer has been extremely cold so far.

I wish it was only 37 lol

Y'all making fun of Europeans for complaining about some heat, yet when they're not even at the 90s or 100s, can you truly roast them?

Good luck to everyone living in the Western side of our continent. Here in Romania, we've just come out of this whole thing this week, with temperatures over 40 degrees. I got no AC, and my whole apartment felt like an oven of some sort (in a literal way). Everything was truly unbearable. Hope you'll all get through just fine as well.

Europe is in for a nasty surprise when the jet stream keeping their climate relatively mild collapses.

It won't be a surprise but yes. Might save the wine though, we can't go through summers like that anymore. Here are grapes destroyed by the weather yesterday

Oh thank god, where would we be without wine.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago

You'll have to switch to ice wine only haha

This map is pretty innaccurate in hungary its bout 35 and in croatia its 30+. Even in sweden(where i live at least) its 20+. Tho in iceland it is like 8-10. Ive been bouncing arround europe a lot this summer so ive literally felt the heat.

It should be quite pleasant on the beach in Cleethorpes.

[–] Lojcs@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Honestly it feels like a miracle temperatures are as low as they are. It was way hotter last year

It's nice knowing I won't die of heatstroke. Jokes aside, Norway does do a lot of "coolcation" advertisements for Europeans stuck in sweltering heat

[–] Servais@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Interesting, thanks

Europeans when summer

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

40°C here in my corner of the US. I have to walk an hour in that surrounded by asphalt most days because of our shit infrastructure 😐

Edit – Heat index, 100°F is about 38°C and 112°F is about 44°C (they didn't have it in celsius for some reason):

Temperature:

pain

This will be Europe during spring and autumn in a few years. In 2070 I bet we'll be missing the good ol times when summers were only 40°C. And we'll miss when most of Africa still existed

Perfect here in UK
