It's basically going to happen.
Concerning. |  |

Thankfully I’ll be working from home in vest and boxers with plenty of cold drinks, a powerful fan and cold water to put my feet in.
I hope anyone who needs to work in an office or outside manages to keep cool. Hopefully people will stay out of restaurants/shops and give the staff a break. |
Apparently you can cook an egg on a car bonnet at that temperature
Don’t you try it though |  |

Dry heat luckily rather than humid which will make it less uncomfortable. |

Yes. It is. Possibly 41-42 in the Peterborough area Tuesday.
I’m concerned as my wife is a chef. The temps in the kitchens are phenomenal.
But when the temp is 30 degrees Celsius at mid night is a huge worry. They are predicting this by the way and I’ll be sitting in my EV with air con on full tilt….in the nip. |
Not a bad plan that, especially considering the crazy battery charge % you can get in these temperatures. |  | | |

It’s just typical of TWTD to be crying about something that hasn’t happened yet and only has a 50/50 chance of happening. |
Sorry, didn't spot you weren't actually trolling but JAQing off. [Post edited 16 Jul 2022 6:59]

Those odds are shortening. Which ever way it goes you can be sure the temperatures are going to exceed what many people can comfortably endure, theres nothing wrong with being prepared for that, looking out for others is just the right thing to do, i don’t believe anyone is crying about it, just concerned.

Try standing between the boilers,
In the boiler room,
Of a Leander Class Frigate,
In the South China Sea,
In August… |
I did a triathlon in Indonesia a few years ago. By the time I got to the run it was 40c and 100% humidity.
I knew I was in trouble when the swim (in the sea) was genuinely warmer than a heated swimming pool.
I was ill for about a week afterwards with sun stroke. |  |

All those holiday companies that send millions of people to bask in 40 degree heat for two weeks every year are being pretty irresponsible then
A trip to go paddle boarding with polar bears would be so much safer |  |

No thanks. I couldn't do that, I get horrendously sea sick even on a pedalo. |  |

Do people *really* often go away on holiday and experience that sort of heat?
I'm not the world's biggest traveler, so wouldn't know, but remember my last trip to southern Europe where it was 30 degrees each day and thinking that was baking. The most I ever experienced was while playing golf in the Australian outback on a course with tar-covered greens (to keep the sand in place!) and only lasting 20 mins in the low 40s. Just too much to bare - we escaped to the air-con of the club-house, but who has that in their homes here? |  |

Taipans love golf courses, I always found. And scorpions. Best to substitute the nine iron, for a twelve bore! (not really, live and let live.) |  |

No, it's a nonsense post from a poster with a long history of posting nonsense. We're currently on our 3rd official heatwave of the year, over 38 degrees in the Pyrenees this week and unlikely to let up in the short term.
The costas won't get above 32 or 33. The places where the millions choose their beach holidays won't get near 40 degrees. |  | | |

This is a thought provoking post, but I'm yet to nail down my conclusion from it. | |

Lovely part of the world. Spent a lot of time in days gone by, just over the border in Ceret / Amelie les Bains. Enjoy! | |

Can’t those who don’t like the heat just stay inside? |  |

You think the warnings are coming from TWTD?
Seriously?
As for climate change, do you honestly believe that's not happening yet?
Have you seen what's been happening in Australia; the recent flooding, the bush fires there and in the US?
Have you noticed the flooding in Bangladesh?
You realise that real people are losing their lives and their homes right?
Edit: "Crying". That's annoyed me.
I never knew you were that fecking stupid or childish to be honest.

There were spontaneous forest fires in Canada last year.
That's "National Sport: Ice Hockey" Canada.
And people still don't get it! | | | |

40c plus in Melbourne always meant a trip to the Sun Theatre in Yarraville for me, air con and a couple of choc tops 😠[Post edited 16 Jul 2022 14:21]

I’m more worried about irresponsible dog owners than humans.
For humans it’s not beyond the wit of man to escape it should you want to. | |

There's a lot of carbon (and methane) locked up in Canadian forests, tundra and the ice of the permafrost further north. Major fires which can burn for a long time in those regions can release so much extra carbon into the atmosphere in one of the most dangerous positive feedback loops the Earth faces.
The hotter it gets -> the more fires and carbon released -> the hotter it gets...
These are deadly threats to life on Earth. I don't know what schools are doing these days, but it's this sort of basic science really ought to be the first thing on the curriculum. | |
