Currently 103/40 here in Oakland. Brutal heat. Just brutal. We usually get warm weather later in the year, when the day are shorter, so it’s not too bad. This heat this early in the year is very, very unusual.
Yeah, other places get hotter. But our infrastructure (housing, public transport, all that) is built for a more temperate environment. Walls are thin. No AC. When it gets like this, you can’t go anywhere or do a damn thing.
EDIT moving to Scotland immediately. Midges > 100 degree June weather
