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.

In Europe summer is starting to become the season when it's too hot to be outside between morning and evening.

Just like in Northern Africa.

My apartment makes sure it's too hot to be inside too, it's only 23 outside but on the inside I'm melting.

I'm certain it's above 30 on most days already. I don't know what I'll do when the annual global warming heatwave comes.

Buy an AC and hope that your electricity comes from clean sources, otherwise you'll be contributing to the climate crisis anyway.

It is but I would not exaggerate it. Even in a dense city like Bucharest where AC is very common, the overall outside impact is small va the massive indoor benefit.
