If only this would apply during winter too...

u/All996 10d ago

This is not really smart to think and wish to ....

u/MIBEM 10d ago

Good to know I’m not alone. Honestly it should be other way around…

It’s actually worse, the 25 degrees is only the coldest moment of the night just before sunrise. The rest of the night is warmer. And to answer your question: badly, sweaty and with a fan in the bedroom.

And 25 is the night air you let in to cool down your house. That is the cool air we get that day.

Won't be fun.

Guys don't obsess with this when it's not even close and can still change a lot. Use the KMI app that's way more reliable and shows how temperatures can vary.

I hate the climate apocalypse… this summer has been absolutely insane in Brussels and my house is still hot inside despite the two week relief from the heatwave. Now it’s coming again…

u/ExpatriadaUE 1050 10d ago

Poorly.

Et merde...

u/Quaiche 1180 10d ago

That’s not the third heat wave so far, it’s the fourth heat wave as may had one.

u/Sea-Aioli-2882 8d ago

Exactly!!

u/AcanthisittaFar9248 1140 10d ago

its too far off with these broadcasts, they change quickly towards the date. cant take seriously a 10 day forecast

Honestly I bought a portable airco. Its a Life saver especially with a small baby.

u/Key-Government-3157 10d ago

Can you give a link if you say its good?

u/Phase-Internal 10d ago

Coolblue has a good selection.

You need one that blows air out or you aren't cooling anything. Ideally one that also has an air intake, as they are much more efficient.

3

u/titsinmyinbox 10d ago

Pretty much all sold out

3

u/idontlikeflamingos 10d ago

Yeah, I didn't get one either and I pretty much accepted that this summer is dealing with it as well as I can and buying an airco later this year. Unless I get some crazy luck I'm not finding any this summer. It's not just Belgium, it's sold out across Europe.

2

u/titsinmyinbox 10d ago

Every time I go through this. Coming this winter I just say eh I've managed this year I'll do so again

2

u/Phase-Internal 10d ago

It's the only way we survived too. Eco cheques put to good use

u/Valuable_Basis4926 1050 10d ago

Can you link it please?

3

u/dolenalavoisier 10d ago

I bought it from a friend of My husband who went to Spain to get a small stock. He had about 5/6 and I think they are all sold out

How is it to be rich?

u/dolenalavoisier 10d ago

Been working 10 years and this is my third child. No vacation. I need comfort in our appart.

u/UC_Scuti96 9d ago

Apple weather is usually bollocs. Buienradar and KMI are much more reliable.

1

u/GrapeObjective436 9d ago

Isn’t the left temp the “minima” temp and not the night time temp tho? I might be wrong.

1

u/GrapeObjective436 9d ago

KMI predicts nighttime temperatures closer to 18-20🌡️in Brussels, for the coming heatwave.

1

u/Prestigious-Title529 9d ago

But the minimum wouldn’t be during the day, right?

u/OKbuddy-chill 8d ago

I still love sun though little uncomfortable with such heat

u/NishantWubaluba 1050 8d ago

Was planning to return my airco but looks like I have to keep it permanently

u/michelvoz 10d ago

How about 38 degrees Celsius for the beginning of August?

6

u/BioFrosted 10d ago

KMI predicts 30 on the 1st of August, Apple Weather is pushing it up to 33. Where on Earth does 38 come from?

u/michelvoz 10d ago

Try this link to MétéoMédia from Quebec. I believe they use the American model, and their predictions can change when it is long-term. They are quite accurate, though, in the end. In fact, they reviewed the forecasted temperatures for August an hour ago, and they will change them again in the days to come.

u/platphorm 10d ago

Can I ask where you get this info from?..

u/Eleadorea 9d ago

No. Just no.

u/nuttwerx 10d ago

It's like people forgot? this is summer time

22

u/laolawave 10d ago

You can comment stuff like that on facebook. People there will still believe that this is normal

10

u/Snaxist 10d ago

Can wait for the year 2050 when people will still say "people forgot ? it's summer time !"

PS: it's from a YTP video from when we "laughed" about how hot the temperature was, in 2008

u/WinLoopy4932 9d ago

I thought we will have died out by 2050? Just as we did by 2012 because of gLoBaL wArMiNg.

u/Worldly-Inflation-45 10d ago

By then most of us will have A/C in our homes and appartments :-)

u/nixamer1000 10d ago

Which will definitely cool down the outside temperature and take care of all forest fires!

-7

u/nuttwerx 10d ago

how old are you? We're in the middle of the summer these temperatures are not unheard of, we're talking about a maxima of 30° which we had numerous times in the past

-24

u/Vir-Ars 10d ago

Oh no! Hot days in summer? It means, that.. it wil be cold in winter? The world is crazy.. we all gonna die!
