you don’t understand man, a member of Congress brought a snowball in and showed everyone
As a European browsing the internet, this would not even surprise me if true
Here it is from 2014

Crazy that this wasn’t even a decade ago.
It is.
We have a lot of very, very stupid people in public office…
It was quite a while ago, but it absolutely occurred.
“mum what happened to Europe in 2023?”

The HVAC market has never been hotter!! Buy buy buy!

Lmao. We do need ac though, the problem is Europe has a ton of older houses which were build when it was much more beneficial to try and keep warmth in rather than out. And it’s a pain in the ass to retrofit all these houses with ac. I live in a flat which was build about 15 years ago and the difference compared to my previous apartments is enormous. Still no ac, but it’s not needed here because of proper isolation and smaller windows.
Silly the rest of the world, my windows are superiour, I don’t need AC. dies
Jokes aside, our windows are superiourYour windows are superior in how they open, however the average American would need better education in order to operate them.
I was just there in June and my apartment had 3 options for the window to open depending on latch position. One would open the top for venting, one would open wider with just the glass part of the window leaving the bug screen in place and another would open the whole unit so you could hang out the window and fall 10m to the ground.
Best we have what are called double hung windows, top and bottom open (up/down or left/right side slide). Almost every house i’ve ever lived in has screens.
Don’t they have these cheapy portable ACs with a radiator you can drag outside? It shouldn’t cost too much, you just need a hole in the wall to stick the radiator through. Then, once you stick the radiator and it’s pipe through, you can slather the hole with cement or whatever so the heat doesn’t get in. Shouldn’t cost more than 500 USD and take more than an hour to set up.
Edit: Photo showing what I mean (found on google):
Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire “hot side” is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.
Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don’t really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.

There are dual hose variations. I think Hisense and Whynter sells them here in the US. If you can find them you should always go for those.
That assumes you have bought you own house which you can alter. Where I live it’s 60% owns and 40% rents, but the cities, where it’s much warmer and which heat up faster and thus need ac the most, have more renters than buyers. So you’re dependent on whoever you’re renting from to do anything like that.
in North Africa they had 50 °C at the fucking sea. All the “you keep the southern African climate migrants in check for us” agreements the EU made, will not be worth much soon, when the people from Tunesia, Morocco and Algeria have to flee themselves from the heat.
And it’s only going to get worse.
Yeah. Heatwave my ass, this is climate change in action.
Well, it’s both actually. Lovely ain’t it?
Welcome to middle Norway where we have autumn all year round. It’s now rain and 17 degrees Celsius.
I should move to Norway
Good luck
Seattle was a high of 80 today and 71 for tomorrow, no humidity or anything.
80 degree is near boiling.
I think he doesn’t mean degree. Maybe some of these funny American systems like 80% bigger balls because of heat.
Fahrenheit, as opposed to Celsius. Pretty mild day, 26 C for those across the pond.
for those across the pond.
No, rest of the world.
I mean, it’s fine if you’re used to imperial units. But if you post something on the internet, either you have to convert it once to standard units, or every non-american reading it has to. So please, do you.
Fair enough, I just don’t have a frame of easy reference for standard, as it seems many don’t for imperial.
We were at 71% yesterday and 69% today. Indoor humidity is 67%, at least for me in Leschi.
It’s the proximity to water sources that makes it more bearable and seem less oppressive than other areas with higher humidity.
Until the Gulf Stream shuts down. 🫣
Then we put on skis
Norwegians on skis?? Preposterous!
Lol.
I find that I get icicles that form on my moustache while skiing, same with you?
Love your username btw haha
Other than the rain, that sounds amazing right now!

Det er dusinvis av oss! Dusinvis!
Dette innlegget handler jo om været. Da møter vi opp alle fire av oss!
I wish it was like this here always!
Meanwhile South Africa has received snow for the first time in decades
Well only due to a short cold wave. Now they have 16-30°C in Winter which is 1-7°C above the usual temperatures for this time of the year. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=-19.8;24.3;3&l=temperature-anomaly-2m
Here we go again
It must feel like frostpunk down there for the locals rn
Meanwhile in denmark:
July = rainiest july ever recorded
Temps are between 16 and 19 degrees c.
“Summer”
Summer is my favorite day of the year!
They warned on the news that this summer would be as bad as 2020 with temps around 35C; and its currently 17C and raining. It has been like this for two weeks straight.
That June tho.
That’s in Perth, Australia. It never snows here but climate change
I can’t have an eternal siesta If i wake up drenched in sweat
If it’s eternal you wouldn’t wake up, would you?
Quick. Take a plane to where it’s more comfortable!
The Ted Cruz approach.
I’m broke. Guess I just perish then.
Username applies.
idk how youre to sand something so effectively
Russia: Pool’s closed.
Due to Foreign Aid
Old memes are done, on to the ancient ones!
All your base are belong to us
What you say?
Ooh. It is true, sadly. In the hottest month of summer many of the swimming pools closed due to repair work.
14 degrees here in Ireland. Have to wear a light jacket to stay warm
Sounds like heaven. Here in southern Ontario, Canada most days have been over 30C with high humidity and frequent thunderstorms, which only make it more humid. And other days, we’ve been getting smoke from the wildfires further north in eastern Ontario and Quebec. Annnnddddd…my A/C is broken.
On the plus side, there’s a bit of relief right this moment, with the temperature currently at 16C (it’s like 5am rn). Hopefully I can trap as much of this cool air in my place as possible.

Meanwhile here in 45C Dubai: “This is fine …”It’s only 42C here in Texas.
