It’s selfish I know, but just seeing all people from the North complaining about how horribly hot it is right now makes me quite scared of how things will be looking down south later in the year. I’m enjoying my ~15º C right now but it can get stupidly hot where I live in the summer and I’m really not looking forward to seeing shopping mall Santa Clauses melting into puddles come Christmas.
There’s very little official talk of preparing for the summer here and I bet most people will just become surprised airfried pikachu if we also get our heat records.
What scares me is the wet bulb temperature. I’m in a wetland area, so that’s 90ish with extremely high humidity. Sweat does nothing, airflow does nothing, shade does nothing, you just suffer until your cell’s proteins denature lol
This is me, in the last heatwave I more or less filled my bathtub and stayed there while reading with my e-reader because anything else was suffering.
I strap ice to my neck and torso lol
