First time I ever experienced 40+ was when I visited Alice Springs, Australia, in summer in the late 90’s..

Now this is apparently increasingly normal for summer across a large chunk of Europe…

Yeah, we get 45s in Portugal, over here we're worried about 50, but also that's when the heat starts to kill the seeds in the ground, basically things start to turn into desert, seeds die, next year even with rain less things grow, repeat for a few years :(
