Even my planned holiday might not help. Admittedly no-one goes to Poland or Berlin for the sun....but still.

Well, I am in Leipzig now, in Saxony.
Guess what, Anglo-Saxon weather.

This is a good example of the UK, heat alert and words like "soar" are used beacuse of 30C :

And it will be unbearable.

Forgot to ask last time this was brought up, but is this 30C at the thermometer, or is at a measurement of "feels like 30" including humidity ?

Also it's only been introduced in the last year.

We've always had weather warnings from the Met (and I'd say there's yellow about every other week). Sign of climate that we now need it for heating - primarily aimed at the elderly with health issues and especially on medication.

And worth flagging that despite this, in London, the Mayor's London plan is explicitly anti-AC and broadly it should only be an exception in residential developments (because of energy consumption and the impact on urban head island). Which can make some new build blocks really, really hot (especially s they're built with better insulation standards).

At 9 last night it was still 28 outside on the CC back deck.  Not sure how hot it got yesterday.  But thankfully this week is forecast to return to highs in the mid 20s.

This summer was not that bad until late August thanks to El Niño, Texas' one precious temperature control mechanism. And last year the Atlantic was also freakishly warm so I anticipated it would be a huge El Niño, but in fact it was only moderate. But still we needed it badly. It seems most of the moisture got dumped on California but we still got some.

The Atlantic seemed a more normal temperature this year so next year I expect us to be back to our normally scheduled hellish and dry summer.
