Heatwave in Southern Europe

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Southern Europe is currently experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures reaching + 30°C or even + 40°C. The heatwave has also sparked wildfires and some drought. While such weather is common there in July and early August, many scientists say June is too early, and point at

global warming

If you plan a vacation to Southern Europe, summer is no longer the best time of year. Wait until September or October.

another political thread lol

this “global warming” narrative is cover up to sudden adult death syndrome (SADS) in vaccinated individuals. hope i’m wrong but “conspiracy theories” keep coming true

it was predicted almost a year ago

and the SADS cases will conveniently be blamed on global warming, not the vaccines everyone’s injecting themselves with

Exactly where?

What the hell does a vaccine conspiracy even have to do with a heatwave and a pattern of earlier high temps?

My sympathy, where I'm at we keep getting hit with the 90s(F) some days in May now for a number of years (maybe it's been a decade or so by now), which is too early for that right here and was NOT a thing when I was growing up, but has likewise become a trend that we're getting the higher heat earlier.

Though it's oddly pleasant this week...even though we were low 90s 3 days ago then 20 degrees cooler the next day. Not that I'm complaining about not dying of the heat, but low 70s feels a little to cool now, so if Europe would like to send a little of that back this way to the U.S. northeast to balance it out for both of us...that would be fine.

Stay cool, you guys. Hope the rest of summer is more normal.

I'm pretty sure the point he's making is the heat really isn't that bad but they're conveniently using it to scapegoat the Sudden Adult Death Syndrome caused by the vaccine.

Had to go look it up, since not being a numbers person and not good at figuring out the conversion of the two... 30C looks to be upper 80sF, which is nothing for us in the U.S. (though maybe a lot to those less accustomed to it), but 40C looks like that's over 100F? Yeah, no, that's heat that could kill some people, esp if it's humid (dry heat people will hardly ever understand), so not a conspiracy.

Over here it's been generally cooler than last year, despite a few really hot days. Last year I ended up needing to put the AC unit in the first week of April, whereas this year we didn't need it until the end of May.

Feels about normal for Central NJ.

Funny cuz temperatures lowered a tad here in the last few days. And the temperature for the rest of the current week isn't going to get higher than 24C or so.

Last week we were having temperatures in the 30s here. So I wonder how long until they get back there again.

[Sumac]

Most of the April and May it was abnormally cold here, to the point where people had started to wear summer clothes only in the beginning of the June. Even now it is in the range of +20 C and not above it.
So much for the "Global Warming".

[Andrew NDB]

It's been pouring rain here and cloudy for weeks. Haven't seen the sun barely.

[Turo602]

It's been hitting the mid 90s and higher here in Chicago. Been hot as f*ck all last week with the hottest being last Tuesday which had a real feel of 108. My dog was out for like 3 minutes that day as we walked to the car and he was hyperventilating throughout the whole car ride even with the AC blasting. First time I've ever seen him like that. It was 95 degrees yesterday and it's gonna be 100 today with the rest of the week hovering in the high 80s to low 90s.

[Mayhem]

Well we've had the hottest temperatures for June ever recorded here in the UK this month, so something is warming up right now.

This, exactly. Well, the temps are a bit different here, but we were enjoying some unseasonably cooler weather for a while. But now- whoof, the heat is horrendous already!
