is it a good sign when the national weather service runs out of pre-assigned colors to depict temperature?

@amro
my understanding is that it will start cooling off this weekend - but I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just someone who used to live in Germany and remembers that temperatures 10C lower than today were considered HOT when I was a kid...@dirkhh I know and you're right. I'm just being sarcastic. In all probability and these heatwaves continue for the next decades, the warm gulfstream will collapse due to melting glaciers on Greenland adding to much fresh water to the AMOC.
In that case Western Europe will get the same climate as Canada. Much dryer and colder... -
@dirkhh Also - that is kinda funny
Our back garden patio is a little sun trap - the black plastic garden chairs were just reading over 60 degrees (in C! not F!)@lnr
🤯
that would be seriously painful to sit on.
Actually (
) a quick kagi search reveals... human pain threshold is somewhere around 44C, injuries can start below 50C and 60C will definitely give you burns!!!
Wowza. -

Well they got the colour of West Wales about right. Quite toasted today 🥵

@dirkhh yes, it means it will turn around so tomorrow will be -36

@dirkhh I've noticed some of the heat maps just wrap the color scale around at some point of horridness.

@dirkhh It's the void!

@simonzerafa @dirkhh *winks from halfway across the ash zone*
I told someone to watch out for the ash hole earlier and they got quite upset

Don't worry, it's just a fever. It will go down, once the infection plaguing earth is killed off.#climatechangeistnotaboutsavingearthitsaboutsavinganearthhumanscanliveon

@dirkhh most probably they predict a vulcanic eruption tomorrow …

@simonzerafa @dirkhh yeah. Nothing on but the aircon and it's still really hot

I hear you. As I said, there are fairly simple limits to what A/C can do.
But with the difficult choice of "promote the essential-to-humanity unlimited growth of AI data centers" and "do the absolute bare minimum to try and slow down climate change", it's obvious that a well bought politician needs to accept option 1...

@afeinman
As you can see in my alt text... I do think that the color choice of essentially "ash" for the center is pretty instructive...@dirkhh it's been bothering me why they've all gone past dark red to grey, ash was obvious

@dirkhh that charred black looks accurate, tho

In that case Western Europe will get the same climate as Canada. Much dryer and colder...But the heat as a global energy will stay on the planet. Nothing will be cool anymore, even without the golf stream.
And yes, I "joked" (despite apocalypse not being funny) with a colleague that even regarding temperatures "40 is the new 30": when I was a kid, we talked about 30°C as we now do about 40°C.
