JupitersWitch
People act like all of France is on fire. The heat in Villevieille is due to a wildfire in Spain. Fire makes the air really hot.
i just know that bark beetles fuck up the forest near me because the lack of rain, no idea what else going on in other places
we still had 40C and more (104f) all over europe and most people have no AC and it prob messes with the ecosystem.
There are places in the US without AC so I feel ya. I know it’s hot but a wildfire in Spain has jacked stuff up.

Um. Yesterday, the temp *inside* my apt. was 86. No AC here. Didn't get tolerable til about 3am when the temp outside was 51 F.
Try using fans to improve the circulation; open windows & doors. Inside should cool much faster with outside temp of 51°
Can't open doors: Meth-head neighbors would take all my shit. Major problem is I have a west-facing, 2nd floor brick wall. (1/2)

yes but we had 40C+ two days ago, thats 104F and we have mostly no AC and no dry heat in europe.

it's more, I don't know where you got those numbers. In Switzerland, we had 36°C (97F). The south of France has it far worse, so >36°C ...

Yeah but we don't like in little wooden houses. Dual layer brick with shit tons of insulation. No air con. Double glazed windows.
Also it was 46c in France today.. That's hot. Don't care where you are from. Even more so when the houses are designed to stay warm in winte
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
As a hardened Aussie, that's hot. Mum woulda been upset at me being outside in that temperature.
Boshanks
Well technically insulation works both ways right, keeps heat or cold in.
Then again if you don't have AC it's worse to be insulated if your trying to keep cool.
That's it our houses are built to retain heat as its colder more than its hot. So when it hot, there is no escaping it
leopardspotster
What makes it so much worse is 80% of European buildings (including houses and apartments) don’t have AC. So no relief from the heat.

Never visit Paris in middle of summer.

malikcarr
Literally thousands of people died during that mega heatwave in the 2000s. You'd think people would learn - get a little window AC, put it->
in your closet until you need it for extreme weather like this. Lives would be saved.
Yeah that's why we always complain in the UK heatwave. Our houses are insulated to death for the cold. When it hits 30c it stays 30c
In Montreal on the 3rd floor with all the windows open and fans, atm

KrakenBear
What kind of backwards SHIT is that. I'd kill without AC. They hate their people. BARBARIANS.
I'm just ribbin btw.
derboexnergammler
Because we don't build houses with 30cm wall of wood and drywall. Half a meter stone and brick and really there's not much need for an ac
Maboroshi1994
why would we have AC when for most of our history the temperatures never required it?

lacuaba
We’re just used to 20-30 degree summers and -10 to 15 the rest of the year pretty much, AC’s are just a giant waste of energy for most of us
HERESY
I mean clearly The Back-up Plan is needed, as for the Post above. I wouldn't take chances
FvcktangularBondulance
Absolutely. I've got an AC in my damn bedroom and I make up literally 100% of everyone I know that has an AC anywhere.

Yeah fuck that. Time to start booking trips to Europe during the fall.

My boss thought it a good idea to order an AC two weeks ago. Last week he canceled the order because they couldn't meet demand. no shit.
Ankokou
Also what people are acclimated to, harder on people outside their norm. 83F in (28C) in southcentral Alaska right now and I'm slowly dying.
Is that normal in Alaska‽
It does normally happen every year for a few days but a typical hot day would be 70-75s (about 22C) and june average is closer to 62F (17C)
Keep in mind Alaska is huge and different areas have different climates.The interior is hotter and can get over 90 (32C.)

So buy one, capitalism at its best. Or brick of ice + fan = cool days
But there needs to be one there to buy. The supply will lag behind the demand for now, and in the mean time people don't know how to cope.
Edutittam
Capitalism at it's best. Mark up when people are fucked. Super cool.
schopier
why does buying things = capitalism?
Part of the problem is that EU just isn’t used to this kind of heat. Although AC window units are for sale, office buildings and
schools don’t have central AC, so not easy to cool down. France canceled school today because of this. EU culture will need to adapt.
Hybris51129
That's a tall order for a culture that doesn't handle change very well.

Not so much with big single-level houses/buildings. With 2+ levels convection sucks cool air in, unless it's also hot at night.
summershank
At night you can wear an “Egyptian blanket” basically a cold wet towel as a blanket. As it dries it will wick heat. I do this camping in fla
Yes It World very well! Or taking a shower without drying yourself before going to bed, but the effect last less
OverfedLonghairedLeapingGnome1
No offense to the suggestion. But that sounds just miserable. Live in SC Hurricane country, so duly noted. Not even July, and we've (1)
already had one heat wave. No AC in the car. Blech. (/2)
Yeah I’m in southern fla and my gfs car doesn’t have ac
Another tactic in fla when you lose power is to sleep in the bathtub. Coolest spot in the house
When we lost power for a week in September after a hurricane, we just moved into a friend's spare bedroom for a week.
You’re a lucky man. The last hurricane that came through fucked me and all my friends. You know it’s bad when you go to Walmart just for ac

Literally thousands of people died during that mega heatwave in the 2000s. You'd think people would learn - get a little window AC, put it->
malikcarr
in your closet until you need it for extreme weather like this. Lives would be saved.
Ryannewton85
Yeah that's why we always complain in the UK heatwave. Our houses are insulated to death for the cold. When it hits 30c it stays 30c
ThrowAwayAcct0000
In Montreal on the 3rd floor with all the windows open and fans, atm
LuminousExpanse
sounds like an incredibly lucrative business opportunity to me
Phormio
Haha,naive Central/Northern Europeans.
sabrae
Fuck AC, except for hospital
ShadeEmberi
at least they have shutters! the Uk does not ! D:
Magezz
I live in Sweden & have all my windows open all summer long. Well isolated house so my body heat and electronics do all the heating
TrafalgarLaw1990
also this map only shows temperatures up to 29C. they had 45C today (thats 113F)
Jillymaree76
Same here in Phoenix. We've had a mild spring.
imshibagel
Yeah most are also made of clay and brick so they don't exactly heat up like US houses either...
27yoUGLYvirgin
Clay? You mean mortar?
PeteThePerv
the brick is clay.
imshibagel
I'm going down with my ship
KrakenBear
What kind of backwards SHIT is that. I'd kill without AC. They hate their people. BARBARIANS.
KrakenBear
I'm just ribbin btw.
derboexnergammler
Because we don't build houses with 30cm wall of wood and drywall. Half a meter stone and brick and really there's not much need for an ac
Maboroshi1994
why would we have AC when for most of our history the temperatures never required it?
KrakenBear
Always have a backup brotha
lacuaba
We’re just used to 20-30 degree summers and -10 to 15 the rest of the year pretty much, AC’s are just a giant waste of energy for most of us
KrakenBear
HERESY
KrakenBear
I mean clearly The Back-up Plan is needed, as for the Post above. I wouldn't take chances
FvcktangularBondulance
Absolutely. I've got an AC in my damn bedroom and I make up literally 100% of everyone I know that has an AC anywhere.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
That's such a weird way to put it
FvcktangularBondulance
It is. Because it is weird.
The13thDude
Yeah fuck that. Time to start booking trips to Europe during the fall.
randelung
My boss thought it a good idea to order an AC two weeks ago. Last week he canceled the order because they couldn't meet demand. no shit.
Ankokou
Also what people are acclimated to, harder on people outside their norm. 83F in (28C) in southcentral Alaska right now and I'm slowly dying.
CraftedLine
Is that normal in Alaska‽
Ankokou
It does normally happen every year for a few days but a typical hot day would be 70-75s (about 22C) and june average is closer to 62F (17C)
Ankokou
Keep in mind Alaska is huge and different areas have different climates.The interior is hotter and can get over 90 (32C.)
ButterLemon
meanwhile thats a normal autumn day in north east coast of Australia. We freeze into little popsicles the temp drops below 42F (6C)

Where tf did you get that percentage?

Besides NG wrote it, I still can't find real analysis. This just sound impossible to me... I must be some sort of elite then :)
ChanMan9000
So buy one, capitalism at its best. Or brick of ice + fan = cool days
ferafish
But there needs to be one there to buy. The supply will lag behind the demand for now, and in the mean time people don't know how to cope.
Edutittam
Capitalism at it's best. Mark up when people are fucked. Super cool.
schopier
why does buying things = capitalism?
leopardspotster
Part of the problem is that EU just isn’t used to this kind of heat. Although AC window units are for sale, office buildings and
leopardspotster
schools don’t have central AC, so not easy to cool down. France canceled school today because of this. EU culture will need to adapt.
Hybris51129
That's a tall order for a culture that doesn't handle change very well.
Sheepdroid
What even makes you think that? You have probably never picked up a history book in your life.. :\
ChanMan9000
Ope... wait 45.9c = 114 F, well fuck that’s hot!
DisplacedAnger
Jesus, that's like Texas heat...those poor fuckers.
openbobspls
I’d imagine not as Europe sounds humid with all the rain they get. 114 Texas is like 80 here on the east coast where I live now
ab47203
Indiana gets above 100°F most Summers and it's almost always humid here too. Welcome to my hell.
PostNutDepression
Bro, you think Texas ain't humid? It's been raining and twistering for the past two weeks. My ballsack looks like a petri dish my guy!
AdlitamRufel
Closing all shutters and blinds during the day ans opening Doors and Windows during the night is efficient sometimes :)
Daimonu
Do you know mosquito ? There are really hungry here in France. We only open on Sunrise for fresh air ?
AdlitamRufel
Yes i have those tiger mosquitos bitches, living in south of France! I have reached the point of giving up the fight and ... 1/2

And willfully offer them my Blood in exchange of an opened window. Choisir entre la peste et le choléra!
uSnoozeuBooze
Living in Phoenix, this does help. And make your own homemade swamp fan can give a little bit of help
hydrocarbon82
Not so much with big single-level houses/buildings. With 2+ levels convection sucks cool air in, unless it's also hot at night.
summershank
At night you can wear an “Egyptian blanket” basically a cold wet towel as a blanket. As it dries it will wick heat. I do this camping in fla
AdlitamRufel
Yes It World very well! Or taking a shower without drying yourself before going to bed, but the effect last less
OverfedLonghairedLeapingGnome1
No offense to the suggestion. But that sounds just miserable. Live in SC Hurricane country, so duly noted. Not even July, and we've (1)
OverfedLonghairedLeapingGnome1
already had one heat wave. No AC in the car. Blech. (/2)
summershank
Yeah I’m in southern fla and my gfs car doesn’t have ac
summershank
Another tactic in fla when you lose power is to sleep in the bathtub. Coolest spot in the house
ThrowAwayAcct0000
When we lost power for a week in September after a hurricane, we just moved into a friend's spare bedroom for a week.
summershank
You’re a lucky man. The last hurricane that came through fucked me and all my friends. You know it’s bad when you go to Walmart just for ac
