It's 42C in Paris now

[malaise]

That's 107F Damn!!

It's the highest temperature ever recorded in Paris

[brooklynite]

1. So, a nice chilled chablis?

[Recursion]

17. There were literally people having wine with lunch at the bistro beneath my apartment

I wanted to throw things at them

[Tipperary]

31. Why would you want to throw things at them?

Wine with meals is fairly normal in France.

[madaboutharry]

2. That is an outrageous temperature.

Air conditioning isn't as commonplace as it is here.

I just checked and it is 85 in Stockholm. The normal temperature in July should be high 60's to low 70's.

[Celerity]

13. it got up to 32 C (90) here a couple hours ago (Stockholm)

Södermalm to be exact.

Overall it has been much cooler here this summer compared to the main continental part of the EU, but this week it is quite warm. Last summer was the hottest in over 500 years. It was horrid. Not as hot as France, etc this year, but still, it was terrible.

[madaboutharry]

22. That is just too hot.

Does anyone have air conditioning?

[True Dough]

3. Good thing the French Open isn't in progress

[malaise]

6. Ha

That's hot

[Recursion]

18. The Tour is just hitting the hills stage now (nt)

[True Dough]

23. They better have a lot of towels on hand!

And water/sports drinks too!

[bullwinkle428]

29. 15 bidons (bottles) of water and sports drinks for each rider on a stage,

which lasts approximately 5 hours!

[Different Drummer]

26. But the Tour de France is, with about two or three more days to go.

4. I hear they're worried about the ceiling at Notre Dame

collapsing. Where's the global warming jokes?

[malaise]

7. I know they've slowed down the trains

over fear that the tracks will snap

[Recursion]

16. But the buses are free today

Which is nice because they're air conditioned. People with nowhere to cool off can just ride one of the circulator routes all day.

[malaise]

21. Very cool

[Sucha NastyWoman]

5. I thought that as a bra size

For a somewhat broad-chested woman

[dawg day]

8. 102 in London--

Hell is celebrating Boris's "victory".

[malaise]

10. ROFL

[Yavin4]

9. Yep. A/C in Europe is not as common as it is here.

Found that out the hard way.

[Recursion]

20. The bakeries are closed this afternoon

That's something close to anarchy for Parisians.

[Ace Rothstein]

11. Heading there tomorrow, happy to see it will only be 87.

I don't want to spend a day in my hotel room due to heat. Currently a beautiful 91 in Sardinia.

[malaise]

12. It's nice in Denmark as well

Enjoy everywhere

[Recursion]

19. It's supposed to break tomorrow, but there will be thunderstorms

If it's your thing, tomorrow is also the last chance to see the Soviet visual arts exhibition at the Palais Royale.

[Voltaire2]

14. We are full into the climate crisis.

Lucky for us The Idiots are in charge nearly everywhere.

[Recursion]

15. Sweet Jesus it's hot here

Almost nowhere has central air. 3 years in India I was never this hot.

[malaise]

30. And India can be very very hot

Drink lots of water

[shotten99]

24. 38C/100F in Dresden

This is miserable.

[shanti]

25. It's so shocking

that the high temps that have always been a regular feature of Sacramento summers, are worldwide now. If people can't see that it's real climate change, there's no getting through their dense noggins!

[Jeroen]

27. I am in Holland, all our cheeses have melted

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. imma get shot for this ...

No worries, you can't boil frogs until you get to 100C.


(would've sworn there was a Rodney Dangerfield rimshot smiley somewhere)

[Blue Owl]

32. The Stifle Tower

n/t

[malaise]

33. I see what you did there

Nice

[panader0]

34. Only 92F here in So Az.

Afternoon t-storms nearly daily this time of year.
The summer tourism trade in Europe will suffer.
I read somewhere that June of this year was the hottest June recorded
overall ever.

[The_jackalope]

35. "Is Paris Burning?"

"Well yes, Hair Furore, it really is. Happy now?"
