Well, I saw France and Germany are expecting temps of up to 38C, so that's pretty hot by anybodies standards, let alone European ones.

Problem is, like we're not geared for cold, Europeans aren't geared for the heat, so they suffer more.

Cough up your temps Lazy 😉

And yes true .. 38C is definitely warm .. 40C+ is hot 😉

A 40C+ heatwave of several weeks duration is killer temp .. used to hate working patrols during heatwaves or just the dead of summer .. and getting tasked to .. havent seen old Mr Roberts for several weeks and his letterbox is overflowing and theres a nasty smell coming from the back of the house 😬

Phew, what a scorcher!

I had to catch a bus in town today and it was chocka.
The road to the bus station was bottlenecked by an ambulance.
Some poor bugger lay flat out on the pavement under a leanto
being administered oxygen. I've never seen that happen before.
Ironically, a fire engine was bumper to bumper with the ambulance -
(a coincidence, obviously.)
Numbers don't interest me, sweat ran off the end of my nose -

That would be cold-ish for where I currently am, but it's only moderately cold for a New England winter (where I spent this past winter). We had temps as low as 20 this past winter.

But I believe you have hotter summers than south Florida US, no? At least from the complaints I heard from my Aussie friends. :lol:

Yes MsMary we had a scorcher last summer. But thats not entirely unusual.

Winter came early and cold for us 😉 -5C last night. As soon as the sun goes down freezing 🥶 kicks in 😂

I dont honestly think I could survive northern hemisphere cold too, too cold. Brrrrr 🥶

CA is on fire again. Some rain would be welcome. We had record heat last week, which did not help.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

Yeah, tell me about it. Water restrictions going into effect here, and they're talking about a "water crisis."

Of course, infrastructure has been allowed to decay these past 10-15 years, so we're not well positioned at all.

Infrastructure is a big part of the problem here too.
