Are you enjoying or hating the heat in central Europe?

(Finland hasn't seen any heat yet)

Sort:  

I was going to ask if we had all survived it!

Not in central Europe, but feel for them. We are getting ready for our own heat wave this week.

A lot of Europe isn't airconditioned, because it wasn't needed earlier. If it was 40C here, we would bake.

It seems most of Europe is getting more heat waves each year. Got a feeling you are going to start seeing more ACs. But then you have to start asking if the electric grid can handle that.

Those split unit jobs are pretty amazing these days. It makes it a lot more accessible for people who wouldn't normally have it. My mom and dad have one and it covers their whole house with strategically placed fans.

I have heard in news that more then of 200 Europeans died because of heat wave, is it true?

Technical? No, some awful muck like doner kebab.

:D

A decent Gyro is far better than a doner kebab

Feels like August, but I'm used to summer

30+ is way too much heat for me. I am willing to sell maybe 8 to 10 degrees.

Absolutely I would not. I wonder how those who have gone for holiday there handle with heat now as they need to visit tourist attractions.

We have temps in the 110 range for three or four days coming this week. I am not looking forward to it.
