It's selfish I know, but just seeing all people from the North complaining about how horribly hot it is right now makes me quite scared of how things will be looking down south later in the year. I'm enjoying my ~15º C right now but it can get stupidly hot where I live in the summer and I'm really not looking forward to seeing shopping mall Santa Clauses melting into puddles come Christmas.

There's very little official talk of preparing for the summer here and I bet most people will just become surprised airfried pikachu if we also get our heat records.

Yea it has gotten a lot hotter in the Midwest USA in summer. 10-15 yrs ago, 85 degrees (30) was pretty rare for us to reach, now 90-ish degrees (33) is sorta the highest temp we get in a given summer month. I work outside so I’ve definitely noticed a difference in the past 4 years or so

What scares me is the wet bulb temperature. I'm in a wetland area, so that's 90ish with extremely high humidity. Sweat does nothing, airflow does nothing, shade does nothing, you just suffer until your cell's proteins denature lol

This is me, in the last heatwave I more or less filled my bathtub and stayed there while reading with my e-reader because anything else was suffering.
