Record breaking June temperatures have been deadly in Europe as the mercury soared past 40 degrees in several locations. The heat was hard to handle in Paris, London and Berlin, but our expert says we need to get used to it. But, how fast can we adapt to a scorching new-normal?
If only it was just heat…
200mm of rain fell in about an hour last night, as measured from the weather sensor on my balcony in Bucharest. Maybe more, I can’t tell because the ppwer went out when the water flooding down the block stairs tripped the breakers (I’m currently abroad, now waiting until morning there for a friend to go round and assess the damage…)
The ONLY source that told me that current heat waves are NOT related to current super El Niño (which will affect Europe in late summer) is the DW. ALL others says that El Niño is a significant factor in that.
Have you dig into the data about that and what they says?
So your saying climate change has no reason on why? Are you completly in denial? I must have forgot all the other 40 plus El Ninos of years past or all the other times India has had insane 40 plus heat waves.
No.
Reuters had a heat map that has showed daily the average for this day and today’s high in europe. I was surprised that europe was so cool in the summer. Northern Germeny and France are like 70 degrees, even italy and spain it’s like an 80 average.
Pretty sure the balkans always get sweltering in the summer.
21 and 27°C.
You’re on c/europeSorry bro, taking 21 and multiplying by 9 then dividing by five then adding 32, or vice versa, is not going to happen everytime. I am sorry I use imperial standards, but that is where we are at, We won’t change, we (not me) think we are special. Nevertheless the metric system I only see as partially better. Stupid logic.
yknow you can just swap to c pretty easily on any site or app that tells you the temperature, right?
this is big “tell me you have no friends in Europe without telling me” energy
Why the fuck would I have friends in europe? I am in North America, and I will never leave this hemisphere. If anything I would visit South America, not your soon to be equally fucked corporate hellscape. You guys think you are better, but you are falling.
You guys are a joke, as if you weren’t on the cusp of being seized by fascists, just as dumb as US voters. Even dumber perhaps on balance. Wait for it…
The metric system is insanely better the the shit America uses.
Feel free to write an open letter to America pal, I’m sure we will be excited to hear the ramblings of some partisan that has nothing better to contribute to social media than attacking people for stuff they have no control over!
It’s okay. The collapse of the AMOC will bring a nice chill.
I wonder how that will turn out? There is no telling really, we can’t know just guess.
Yeah, seems difficult to guess how it will affect Europe. Certainly no more ice free coastlines in the north during winter though.
But for North America it might end up much worse.
The hot water will stay in the Gulf of Mexico, so hurricanes might end up being insane.
The Jet Stream in the Americas has been weakening as well, which is though to have led to the increased polar inversions. We had a lot of them this year in North America…
The Jet stream that drives weather in the US is also weakening which has been changing weather. Others have told me it’'s what has caused all of these polar inversions, which suck, we got colder in my state this year than in idk how long, -27 F. But we had like 3 or 4 this year.
We are getting more and more of these, from like 2019 or so. My area hasn’t actually seen any increase in average temperature according to a news report I read. Cooler summers and warmer winters, last winter wasn’t warmer though it was hard.
If you mention such things, people attack you as a climate denier, the world is warming, just not in all areas at the same rates, they are too busy arguing with maga douchebags they will attack me.
The left is fucking stupid too. It turns the public off. We need to not be cunts just because the right wing are cunts online. Ignore their bullshit.
Fast. People adopt to far crazyer things.
