    Where I stay these temperatures can be quite normal in summer. I’m now just worried that a hot summer’s day here will now go from 45 to 55. I’ve felt 50 before. It’s not fun. But besides that, I think of the implications for the agricultural sector. Good luck my European friends. I’ll report back in our summer.

      It’s the lack of sure conditioning in Europe that makes it especially brutal.

      Sure, there are hotter climates but they are usually more prepared with AC. Certainly not always, I know.

        AC doesnt help construction or farm workers, doesnt help against wildfires and also not against drought.

        The economy and society asba whole arent prepared for these temperatures. We would need a cultural shift even in northern Europe, where siestas need to become normal. Too bad if you would need to commute 2h back and forth for your siesta break.

          It also, given our current electricity-creation-machines, only exacerbates the whole “climate change” thing.

        Humidity level does matter, a 50c in a dry weather is pretty hot, but not as hot as how people accustomed to high humidity level make it sound.
