Only consolation is that it’s worse elsewhere. 41 degrees in Nantes FFS… The Alps, you never said. 1 hour ago, Wee Bully said: Who could have guessed that the people who know more about epidemics than epidemiologists also know more about the weather than the Met Office? I for one am stunned. They've had to declare a ceasefire in the Ukraine while they sort this heat out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise low temperatures and systems to keep transport going at 15 below if we were in a country used to that. Extreme weather warnings seem appropriate to our usual climate. Inverness is positively balmy though, as the Met Office forecast. IDK, Oregon has a very low installed A/C rate, and their summers used to regularly see high 20’s and low 30’s. Of course, now with mid-30’s become more common… The actually worst aspect is often misunderstood, and that’s the overnight temperatures. When the temperature overnight falls sufficiently, the high daytime temperatures are less threatening to life…but when the nighttime temps only drop to around 27 or above, the whole environment retains too much heat to allow anyone to cool overnight without climate control systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am rapidly getting used to living in a warmer climate but glad I’m retired and not having to work in the heat. A/c a must. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely guilt free about the environment my 6 year old granddaughter will inherit though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
