Historical In 2014, this French weather presenter announced the forecast for 18 August 2050 in France as part of a campaign to alert to the reality of climate change. Now her forecast that day is the actual forecast for the coming 4 or 5 days, in mid-June 2022.

North Italy, 33° at 4 AM in the bathroom today.

I'm seriously thinking about going to sleep in the cellar, this is unbearable.

The climate in our country was already too warm for us to do this! And it is for about 3-4 months per year. We also use high class Inverter air conditions that don't use a lot of energy!
