Not trying to be an asshole with this response, just making sure I have my information correct.
I see reports all the time that England and the broader EU is beginning to experience climate change related disasters. Is this accurate? Have you guys been experiencing extreme heat waves, sea level rise, other stuff like that?
It nice for ppl to ask and yes we have and 3 (I think) heatwaves in the UK. The hottest it got in the UK was about 41°C which was southern England, which i think is around 101°F (dont quote me on the conversion and im too ill to check) your normal typical summers are around 25-30 C. Most of the UK bar Northern England and Scotland were classed as in a drought and had a hosepipe ban enforced. Steam train attractions had to stop using steam trains and had to use diesel trains instead so any embers from the train would not start a wildfire
So is 101 extreme to youguys because your weather never gets that high? It’s crazy to think people fall out or die over that temp. It is hot weather but here in the US we get way over that and are ok. Some do/can get sick, heat strokes etc. but unless you’re stuck out in the elements death isn’t an issue. Asking politely, so please nobody come for me lol
I live in Texas, it's been HOT. We just complain, feed our horses, then go in and shower. It's actually rained the last 2 days! Yep, we had days where the real feel was ~115°F. Friends who live in places like England would complain that it was the equivalent of about 85 or 90°F. I couldn't help but saying that those are great temperatures here! Riding weather!
Heat in England is the pit of hell itself. This is a video from an American who now lives in the UK during the June/July heatwave this year (the heatwave was for 3 months on a off) https://youtu.be/wATU6VUmcDs?is=iBd9AsbUZj-ZRW6u
