'Hell is coming': week-long heatwave begins across Europe
- Thread starter .Detective.
- Start date
Forecast here (west UK) is pretty good. Low mid 20s max. Ideal. So, so, so sorry for those on the continent (and presumably SE England).
Last year I was in a city in the SE, was hot 24/7, eurgh.

I do love me some sleepless nights because of heat. I can never handle heat, thankfully I've got 3 windows in my bedroom, which sorta helps....
Everything's relative. Been enjoying the rain today though.
I hated the fact it rained all day. Wasn't able to take my cocker spaniel for a walk and my father took her for a walk instead
Just for those who need this explaining, yes record temps get set somewhere every year, but it happens more and more in a warming planet. You can't predict where the records will be, but we are seeing record numbers of records, completely in line with a global warming scenario.
Take global warming away and your average Temps from this weather would be... Less. Not by much, but enough that it many place global warming will be the difference between a record broken and a record not.

Heat like this is very unusual for us. If it repeats several more years from now. Its probably our new future.
Same, but not this time. Thats pretty damn hot.
That said, most of you all are young and healthy....Keep hydrated and you all will be fine (Id considering getting some jugs of water to keep at your place....people do funny things when they thing resources are scarce). Uncomfortable, yes. But fine.
yeah, madrid always becomes an open-air oven
I don't do well in heat
kill me
guess I'll just hike up in the sierra every other day to escape the fucking everything
Most of Europe is leading the world in this regard. The EU's targets aren't quite enough but they're a damn good distance of the way there.
It's really America with the biggest problems. Even China's taking it seriously although not seriously enough to give up on that environmentally-filthy growth.
I did this to you
I would never pee on Berlin but I WOULD SET EUROPE AFLAME
I THINK BIG PICTURE
ACs are very common in Southern Europe . Middle European countries are fucked because our houses are built for cold climate and it's basically impossible to install regular ACs.
In Spain:
which can be summarized like:
Feels nice that two years in a row IT IS FUCKING HOTTER IN SWEDEN THAT BACK IN MY HOMETOWN.
STAY STRONG GONDOR

What about these things?
I don't know what the plumbing is like for them though.
Yaps, unless the person is trying to save money, or can't do any holes on the wall there is little reason to get anything but these sort of units, they are the gold standard of AC so to speak, they are a lot quieter than window units and far more efficient and quieter than portable units which are pretty trash in both regards, these units do need to be installed by qualified people since there is some equipment required for the installation, but as far as the installation is concerned the plumbing is pretty simple, it is just a small hole at an angle through the wall with 3 tubes passing through, even the electrical installation isn't complicated since we have 230v most units can easily be plugged into a power socket.
Not in Portugal from my experience, in fact remember once showing a car to someone from eastern Europe and him commenting specifically how it was weird that Portuguese didn't really use AC much (the AC on the car was not working since it needed recharging).
What on earth is this? I thought it was a printer from the 90s.What about these things?

It's a wall mounted air conditioning unit common in Japanese homes. Sidesteps the window problem I see people bring up.
Having a cold in hot/humid weather with high pollen is dreadfull. Have not been able to sleep properly all night, I want to cut off my nose.

Basically you need to get the approval from the district to install an A/C, and it's very difficult to get one since mostly server rooms, storage rooms for food and such get the approval.
What about these things?
I bought a house last november. It has one of these in my living room. A couple of years ago this would have been considered pretty unneccessary in Denmark. Tomorrow I go to France for two weeks. When I come back I expect to make sweet sweet love to my own personal AC unit.
Going to work this morning was strange. Back at home in Normandy, it was 17°C at 6am, after 45minutes of train, i arrived in Paris and it was 23°C. At 7am. And it's supposed to be worse tomorrow. Fuck.
Luckily, it seems the "quasi AC" at work decided to finally start to work during the night and the office is quite cool. For now. I doubt it will stay that way when the heat will rise outside and the other coworkers start to arrive and turn on their computers.

I'm in Switzerland and I don't even have AC in my goddamn office... and it's on the last floor, in a building built in the 60s. I'm going to die.
It's 8 in the morning and already 26 degrees in the house ugh.
And I have to go to Amsterdam today for work. The AC in the train better be fucking working.
