The Weather in Europe

[PL368Z]

Can't remember that last time it snowed heavy around these parts, used to snow heavy back in the early 2010s.

I haven’t slept for more than 4 hours a night in 2 weeks and it’s gonna be 40 on Monday and Tuesday. This heatwave needs to stop now



99% of houses here in the U.K. don’t have AC.

ANYTHING over like 33C to them Europeans cacs is damn near death....they not built for that heat.

 

[Digital Shaman]

Its only "extreme" because houses here don't have A/C and people don't own portable A/C units. I think some schools are closing too.

We’re not built for extreme heat at all. Most houses are built with bricks and insulation padding as well so they turn into ovens if the temperature gets over 25 degrees

In a sane world a political party that deliberately refuses to acknowledge this catastrophe and take active steps to addressing it would be obsolete, in the USA they are the republicans poised to take control of the united states congress come this midterm election.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

They don't have aircon in Western Europe, you get that right?

Just now realized that

I wasn't comparing...mainly giving different perspectives

 

[Caca-faat]

Would be nice to crank the AC over the summer and heater in the winter, except:






Them going full on Republican coming back to put that country and their allies around them in shambles.

90% of houses in the UK don't have AC. In spain and traditionally warmer countries yes but not in the UK. We are suffering.

Pointless having AC in the UK when you only get 5 days of good weather per year.

Basically.

They’re not cheap either. The portable joints are about £400 for a decent unit with high BCUs

I’m a cold blooded guy so I welcome this weather. I wear hoodies when is 21/22 degrees Celsius without breaking a sweat.

 

[DaRealness]

I love the heat. But 40 Celsius isfor anyone going to work and travelling on the underground trains. Price of fuel has gone up ridiculous but you HAVE to use your AC in the car. Anybody coming over right now with the "England is always cold and rainy" mentality is gonna be in for a shock lol. Its gonna be hotter than Jamaica.

People need to chill though (pun intended) lol. Some of the news pages act like its gonna be Armageddonor something. It goes back down to like 26 Celsius from Wednesday anyway.

I'll be staying inside until late afternoon on Monday and Tuesday since I'm working from home.

 

[mykey]

The vast majority of houses in Europe don't have AC because its really not required.

You can imagine that Dubai type heat in those small ass houses.

Can’t lie, I’m going to take a stroll just to see how hot it is.

Glad it drops quite quickly. I just don’t enjoy hot weather (anything over 20+)
