Sorry
And I am I would be so much more happy with the above @Twistlock

[Twistlock]

Happy to send it your way @Brian

41°C in a traffic jam on the motorway—not exactly fun. At least the A/C is working.

[Chap]

@endo fuck… and I thought it’s hot here. On the way to the sea hopefully?

[endo]

No, we‘re stuck between Heilbronn and Manheim on our way to a family gathering. It‘s supposed to to be even 42° there (Rhine valley). It‘s just crazy.

[SKT]

@endo awful. Are these temps you’re experiencing record breaking?

[endo]

They already are.

[SKT]

Stay safe my friend

[tody]

38° outside... haven't left the house today as of yet. and no, a/c isn't a thing over here.

[SKT]

@tody honestly how do you stay cool? Do you use fans. I know this is a dumb American question but curious

[jdwaid]

41c is insanely hot. Hope you all stay safe.

[tody]

@SKT still just a hair below 30° inside. at least we have a fan blowing in the living room.

[SKT]

@tody we are coddled over here. My delicate sensibilities would not do well in that heat without a/c. Stay safe and hydrated…hope it breaks soon.

[ARNC]

It’s down to “just” 29°C here today but still feels grim. At least it’s almost over. Hope DE and AT aren’t far behind. 41°C is nuts.

[Tago Mago]

Monday can’t come soon enough

[Tago Mago]

It’s Monday…

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago ooof! 🥵

[EdH]

That last heat wave broke me. I'm making enquiries about A/C, even with the house on the market. Me and half the UK in all liklihood, probably won't be able to get it installed until winter.

[goosehd]

@EdH …when the little ones are uncomfortable, no one sleeps! Good luck

[jdwaid]

Dumb American question, but do you all have spaces where you can access air conditioning? Cars, malls, movie theatres, anything like that? In the US during severe heat waves they set up emergency cooling areas for the elderly and people without access to AC, which can be life saving especially for vulnerable groups.
