It’s selfish I know, but just seeing all people from the North complaining about how horribly hot it is right now makes me quite scared of how things will be looking down south later in the year. I’m enjoying my ~15º C right now but it can get stupidly hot where I live in the summer and I’m really not looking forward to seeing shopping mall Santa Clauses melting into puddles come Christmas.
There’s very little official talk of preparing for the summer here and I bet most people will just become surprised airfried pikachu if we also get our heat records.
50 Celsius here currently in a region that hasn’t seen such temperatures since a cataclysmic weather phenomenon in the 1870’s.
Historically we should have 27 weather and maybe a handful of 30-35 days.
We haven’t had one day under 50, and it’s been torrential down pouring every night.
I’m terrified, I’m in the northern hemisphere in a COLD REGION. The global south is fucked this coming southern summer.
