I live in Spain and didn’t hear anything about a heat wave. In fact here in the north it’s quite cool. The only place mentioned in the article is Extremadura which has up to 38 degrees in this weather app. That’s a normal summer temperature. It’s easy to survive with plenty of siesta.
Good to hear it’s not as bad as the article makes it out to be.
I highly recommend at least the first few chapters of The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson Amazon link.
Second that, it’s a fantastic book and despite starting out laying out a grim state of the world it manages to paint a convincing way out of the horror that we created. I want to live in the world KSR imagines.
It’s worth noting that this is soil temp not air temp. Still bad just not quite as deadly as the title makes out
This is just insane. How are people not cooking alive? I don’t look forward to the coming years…
Wait isn’t this the world record for ground temp? I thought the previously highest recorded was like 52°C in death valley
