Record breaking June temperatures have been deadly in Europe as the mercury soared past 40 degrees in several locations. The heat was hard to handle in Paris, London and Berlin, but our expert says we need to get used to it. But, how fast can we adapt to a scorching new-normal?

    Reuters had a heat map that has showed daily the average for this day and today’s high in europe. I was surprised that europe was so cool in the summer. Northern Germeny and France are like 70 degrees, even italy and spain it’s like an 80 average.

    Pretty sure the balkans always get sweltering in the summer.

        Sorry bro, taking 21 and multiplying by 9 then dividing by five then adding 32, or vice versa, is not going to happen everytime. I am sorry I use imperial standards, but that is where we are at, We won’t change, we (not me) think we are special. Nevertheless the metric system I only see as partially better. Stupid logic.

          There’s so much to unpack from your comment. I can’t decide my favorite: that you posted in a European community and misunderstood the temperatures you read as Fahrenheit, or that you doubled down and said America isn’t going to change their measurement system—somehow justifying misreading the temperatures in a community that is the standard.
