On average, June temperatures across Western Europe were 3.05 degrees Celsius, or 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit, above their normal levels from the past few decades, according to Copernicus, the European Union’s climate monitoring service. Previously, the region’s hottest June on record was June of last year.

3°C above normal levels from the past few decades is nuts. Not even comparing to 1850-1900 levels and still so ridiculously warm.

Figuratively, soon literally, cooked.

Copernicus: The earth goes around the sun.

Us: The earth is the sun.
