Maybe I'm weaksauce but when it hit 30 here in Aalborg (Denmark) that felt pretty awful. It's cooled down a little since then tho, and we bought a fan which helps
We went to Bergen on holiday the other week and it was 12 there
Once we get rid of that pesky AMOC, it should cool back down quickly. Or at least make things different.
A habit of mine, to type something into search suggestions that my brain thinks might not be right. First thing that comes up with "amoc" is "amoc collapse news". Whee.
if you want to speed it up, you can set AI agents to automatically search the web for news related to that and alert you. So with all the heat for them to run you'll make your contribution to AMOC collapse. (and of course this is /s)
Some models are showing 40°C+ for most to all of Germany on sunday, and even the models that tend to be a bit too low show mid 30s. I am living off hope those predictions are off and there's a chaotic factor not accounted for yet.
Pool is ready, it's small but will serve a purpose and water pump is connected at last so i can water my plants more easily and i'm on vacation finally from next week 3 weeks (haven't had one since Christmas) so fucking BRING IT ON!!!

It's pretty cool right now up here. 🇸🇪
In Denmark as well. The entire European heatwave of this summer seems to have stopped right at the border to Germany curiously enough.

Yeah, in NL it won't get above 30 either
And more crucially, it seems to not getting tge same heat Germany probably is going to have.

34'C/94'F for Berlin next Friday is pretty toasty.

Meanwhile where I live (we only had 37°C):

It does hit 30 up here as well, though, unless you go quite a bit north.
In the u.s. we just call that summer
In the u.s. you also have AC
And that's why the rest of the world is so hot. AC is a significant contributor to climate change.
And I thank God for it. This place would be unlivable without it
