As someone living in northern Scandinavia it has gotten so warm in the summer here that I don't find it appealing anymore π
Can't imagine how terrible people in the properly affected areas have it
Are the effects of Brexit not as bad in Scotland?
United kingdom will come to its doom eventually
Harsh winters, though.
I considered moving there at some point in my life, those long months with 6 hours of light dissuaded me.
Rich Swedes adopt the strategy of buying a second home in southern Spain and spending winters there.
A good life if you can afford it, to be sure.
Interesting
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
Things happening that have been warned about for decades are somehow always a surprise to a great many
Oh thank god, where would we be without wine.
You'll have to switch to ice wine only haha
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.
Iβve heard air conditioning is not very common in Europe, is that the case for much of the heat wave area? Would Spain and Portugal at least typically have air conditioning?
Am Greek, most buildings and almost all businesses are air conditioned. I would expect any country neighboring Africa directly across the Mediterranean to be the same, at least in their southernmost regions
I can only speak for Germany, where it's not common at all. I wish it was.
Speedrunning climate change with more ac
Honestly it feels like a miracle temperatures are as low as they are. It was way hotter last year
It should be quite pleasant on the beach in Cleethorpes.
I was just a little north of there yesterday. It was indeed lovely!
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.
Feel free to report to Accuweather
How is this a heatwave? Just two areas are hitting 37. The rest are straddling 30. Youβre in paradise compared to other places that are tipping over 40 in mass areas. Itβs not even a dome there. Itβs a few air bubbles.
High of 45 today for me. This looks divine.
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
Interesting, thanks
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?
Don't speak yankee to me
This one needs liberating, boys
/s
Oh how I long to be in Belarus right now...
A sentence no one said before.
40Β°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 π
Edit β Heat index, 100Β°F is about 38Β°C and 112Β°F is about 44Β°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 40Β°C. And we'll miss when most of Africa still existed
