It is so hot society is ending, help!

Welp, I read this while using air conditioner setting at 28 celsius degree.

As someone from a hotter climate than Catalonia you're going to have to walk me through this one

(if nothing else water comes out of the tap already cold so why would I let it sit and warm up before drinking it?)

The reason there ends up being pretty clear: If you drink cold (not room temperature) water, what will your body do? It'll go and heat it up. And heating up is rather counterproductive during the heat.

There's also something about a nerv on the back of your throat, who signals the environment temperature to the brain, something like that, I forgot the reasoning there, as it's obvious right now, I guess.

If you're confused, you really need to start buying your hotdogs from someone else.

Beginnings of heat stroke.

Bright side they can grow wine grapes again in UK. They've been good at whine for a long time.

They've been producing wine in England for a long time. Since of it is meant to be pretty good.

I went for a run in 31°C heat. That was 20 min ago, I'm still sweating like a pig.

It was 99 yesterday afternoon when I was going to do my walking. I opted out. Today may be the same.

This is why North Americans drive to gyms to run on treadmills.

What use is exercise, if you don't look good in public? ^_^

Not a sandy beach.

At least pebbles don't get everywhere. Useless for castle building though.

Well, people mean to do things, but do they actually succeed?

I've actually drunk quite a lot of it. I went to college in one of the few UK places offering Viticulture degrees.

I prefer my grapes unfermented, but in any case you have to cultivate them!

So how's the heat there today? Here we had such a humid chill that even indoors the window frames were condensing water.

Wasn't horrendous today, spent all of it hungover on the beach. Multiple dips. Overcast though so not sweltering.

Tomorrow expected to get some serious heat.

Britain should really open up to international trade. We send you some chill and you send us some heat.

I see tomorrow it will be hotter in London than Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Madrid, and Rome.

My sympathies, 103f (40c) would be considered unacceptably hot here in Michigan, and we are probably much better set up for high temps (most houses have AC). My old house had no central ac, so on hot days we had to live only in the rooms which we had placed window ac units in (which tended to be also pretty loud when running).

I wouldn't be surprised if a few people even die in London due to the heat. 40C is no joke and you are supposed to stay indoors and lower your temperature as much as possible.

 

[Zardnaar]

40 is up there if your idea of warm summer day is 20-25.

Like so?

Hundreds of people are going to die, maybe thousands.
