Europe baking

[Harry Dresden]

Yes, but only in Fahrenheit. Convert to Celsius or Centigrade or whatever the hell else you call it now, and it is not even 40° C.

See, you've already cooled off.

yea its 39 C.....

 

[BackAgain]

That!

He actually made a pretty straightforward point. Not bad.

This is a record breaking summer heatwave, Germany just hit it's all time high, this continent I heard is the fastest warming continent in the world. There are some upper midwestern states that might be the least affected by the looming world crisis that is climate change, as temperatures average higher, resources get depleted, and migration makes formerly inhabited regions empty, others under stress.

That is only a tiny fraction of the problems in store for this planet.

Here is some utterly depressing news: Trump recently BOASTED that he has not allowed a single permit for a wind farm, in fact, I don't think he has allowed a single wind turbine to be built. Just think about that for a minute.

It must be summer in Europe.

The region is less than 7% of the planets surface yet they go into fearmongering songs, I really despise these small brained cretins.

Well, 6.5% of the planet is currently sweating their nuts off because they bought into the whole save the planet no air conditioning shtick, and they just want you to know now what complete sorry idiots they all were.

Europe is facing record breaking heat today and through at least next week. Just as the scientists predicted because of the increase in ocean temperatures and an El Nino event. At least in Europe they don't have the number of knownothing numbskulls that immediately dismiss anything the scientists show us.

Europe is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave this week, with temperatures soaring above 40°C (104°F) in multiple countries, prompting red alerts, public health warnings, and travel disruptions.​

Overview of the Heatwave​

Western and southern Europe are under extreme heat conditions, with France, Spain, the UK, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg issuing high-level heat warnings. Temperatures are expected to reach 40–44°C (104–111°F) in parts of France, Spain, and the UK, with some inland Spanish regions forecast to hit 44°C (111°F) travelpirates.com+2. Paris may see highs around 40°C (104°F), while Bordeaux and central France could exceed this, and Madrid and Bilbao are experiencing record-breaking highs yaleclimateconnections.org+1. The UK Met Office has issued a rare red extreme heat warning for southern England and eastern Wales, with temperatures likely above 39°C (102°F) yaleclimateconnections.org+1.

Human and Environmental Impacts​

The heatwave has already caused fatalities, including at least 18 deaths in France, with children and elderly particularly affected TIME+1. Drownings have increased as people seek relief in water bodies, and hospitals are seeing heat-related admissions TIME+1. High humidity in some regions, such as France, has produced a humidex of 50°C (122°F), intensifying heat stress IBTimes UK. Germany, Italy, and Spain are facing increased wildfire risks, with southern and eastern Germany under high alert for forest fires dw.com+1.

Travel and Daily Life Disruptions​

• Transportation: Train services in France, Belgium, and Spain are reduced or canceled due to heat affecting tracks and electrical systems The Weather Channel+1.
• Schools: Hundreds of schools in France and the UK have closed or shortened hours dw.com+1.
• Outdoor activities: Public events are canceled or modified, and museums or attractions may close during peak heat TIME.
• Air conditioning: Only about 20% of European homes have AC, with even fewer in the UK and Germany, making indoor cooling limited The Weather Channel+1.

Safety Recommendations​

• Hydration: Drink water frequently, avoid alcohol and caffeine, and use electrolyte drinks or fresh juices IBTimes UK.
• Timing: Schedule outdoor activities early morning or late evening; avoid the hottest hours (roughly noon to 5 p.m.), The Weather Channel+1.
• Clothing: Wear light, loose, breathable fabrics, hats, and use sunscreen TIME.
• Cooling: Use fans or wet towels, take cool showers, and seek shade or air-conditioned spaces when possible TIME.
• Emergency: Recognize heat exhaustion (dizziness, nausea, cramps) and heat stroke (confusion, fainting, seizures) and call 112 in the EU if needed The Weather Channel+1.

Climate Context​

This heatwave is part of a broader trend of more frequent and intense heat events in Europe, driven by climate change. Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average, and human-induced climate change has made extreme heat events like this significantly more likely yaleclimateconnections.org+1. Experts warn that such heatwaves will continue to pose serious health, environmental, and infrastructure challenges.

Summary​

Europe is facing a historic and dangerous heatwave this week, with record-breaking temperatures, high humidity, and widespread red alerts. Travelers and residents should prioritize hydration, avoid peak heat hours, monitor local advisories, and adjust travel or outdoor plans accordingly. The heatwave is expected to gradually ease in some regions by the weekend, but extreme conditions may persist in central and southern Europe into next week The Weather Channel+2.

Oh noes!

Oh noes!

Maybe this will drag the eurocucks into 20th century hvac technology.

Much of Europe is really old by our standards; those buildings just do not have any provisions for modern AC without I think sacrificing much of that old world european charm we all hold so dear...

Oh noes!

Exactly! Shock horror!!!!

Sort of like summer. It's too bad they don't have Air Conditioning like the rich average people in America.

Yup, it's their fascist "climate" laws that are the problem, not the architecture or the technology.

Now their greentwats won't allow them.

It's AC for me but not for thee.
