“Incredibilmente pazzesco”: l’ondata di caldo letale che ha colpito l’Europa sta battendo ogni record

I’m literally in “existing”-mode. Sleeping a few hours during the day so I can be awake at night, because that’s the only way I can do SOME things. Otherwise, my head is just in a state of lethargy and confusion. As someone who’s morbidly overweight, this is hell. Forecast says it’ll be 30°C til at least Sunday, so right now I’m hoping for Monday … and it’s only Wednseday …

Really sick of climate change deniers.

Damn, It’s 10c in Estonia right now.

Oh no, if only we were warned about the effects of the constant burning of fossil fuels….. Anyway…. Moving on.

Its crazy how fast the temperature changes. We had rains and 10-15C for a week here in romania and now instant 30C.

<Insert parkour meme>

Next summer I’m definitely getting AC.

Heat waves are getting too serious to not get one.

People in Europe need to start installing AC’s.

But over the coming days i’m sure you’ll see Americans be horrified that we do not have them, and when that happens you should show them [this map](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hLpvSSZ49ow/VZQ4fCQFQRI/AAAAAAAAgH8/xMXhhNUiveQ/s1600/Overlay%2Bof%2BEuropean%2BCities%2Bonto%2BNorth%2BAmerica.jpg), and what it means to be 31c in Paris already.

And still the science deniers claim climate change is not real

Those that should have changed our world, will be long dead before we see the reason why we should have changed

Guys I know it’s tough and that once the heat is inside the house it’s a pain to get it out again, but some tips if some of you are not aware:

– Don’t ever EVER open any window during daytime. 80%/90% closed shutters must be the only light source during the day.

– edit: absolutely of paramount importance: put external shutters. Try anything to have the light blocked outside your house. Because direct sun on them will generate heat like hell. Even a dark drape stuck by a window pane outside is better than an inside curtain.

– now, about the day: it begins BEFORE sunrise, when air is still “cool” compared to the house’s. It ends AFTER there is 2/3 degrees lees outside than inside. So daytime unfortunately is much longer than not daytime, and is not linked to sunrise/sunset.

– during not day time, open everything, favorise air flows, smash your fan 1 to 2 meters from the window and facing it to help hot air to exit during the night.

– Rince and repeat, never falter and never open anything during day time. If the heat is in the house it.will be long and hard to make it better but it will finally happen.

Applying these counsels BEFORE beginning of heatwaves ensures a cooler home temperature. Today, living in Paris (which is absolutely not designed to keep cool), I manage 24 degrees while it’s 34 outside without AC. Even if your home is shitty designed, applying this will enable you to limitate the damages.

Hope it helps.

Meanwhile it’s 2° and snowing in Murmansk.

It’ll break by Sunday, back to early summer normal.

Shame there exists no technology that can cool down human habitats. Maybe one that would even have perfect synergy with energy surpluses from solar during the middle of the day? Oh well, perhaps some day they’ll invent it and widely deploy it in the Asian nations such that we can learn from them how to deal with heat. Surely then we’d just copy their approach and simply solve the heat issue?

I love that no government cares bout that. They all sit in their air conditioning and try to hide their pedophiles instead.

Still enjoying the currently 15 degrees here in Denmark and the other days around 20-22 degrees. I can see that will cause a lot of tourism in the future alone for the weather if this keeps up.

This is the new normal. And just the beginning of it. Our children will live in MadMax type of wastelands 🫡

Keep on ignoring politicians who would make a difference..
