@gabrielesvelto Wow! Is it safe to be in the streets at all? AFAIR, 40 is the temperature the denaturation of proteins starts that is why it's considered a dangerous temperature to have. And when the air's like that it's probably an emergency.

@m0xee @gabrielesvelto this temperature is well within human capabilities. Visit a southern us state in August sometime

@thatguyoverthere No, I know it's not impossible — arabs even manage to live in the desert. But people living in the areas where such temperatures aren't uncommon are usually better equipped for this, have air conditioning in their homes and such.
In Moscow most don't, I know it would be a catastrophe here with thousands of casualties, anything above 33° is already considered dangerous. We now have something like 27° — cats are bit uncomfortable, but it's not a heatwave at all😅
@gabrielesvelto

@m0xee @gabrielesvelto yeah sudden huge swings in temp can leave people unprepared. I remember a "heatwave" in France in early 2000s where something like 8 people died but the temperature was an average summer day (maybe even on the cool side) where I come from
@m0xee @gabrielesvelto also growing up we didn't have ac. Honestly I'm not sure it's the best thing in the world. I mean I like nice cool air after being outside in the heat, but going back into the heat from ac is the worst.

@thatguyoverthere
Yeah, I don't like these things either TBH
Circulating the same air doesn't sound healthy. They probably have better air filters now, but still.
@gabrielesvelto

@m0xee @gabrielesvelto this is equal to 105F. The hottest days on record for my area are above this pretty much every day I look. I don't even live in the south.
@thatguyoverthere @gabrielesvelto @m0xee It was 105f today, honestly its hot but not (since no humidity)

@dcc High humidity is the absolute worst, I remember going to Alexandria in Egypt when I was a teenager — some would probably be fine, but for me it's the worst climate imaginable — it's like breathing warm water, a living hell. I couldn't get an hour of sleep there, good that we weren't there for long 😅
@gabrielesvelto @thatguyoverthere

@m0xee @dcc @gabrielesvelto @thatguyoverthere it is just awful... Moonsoon here in Indian Subcontinent suck.. its like low 30 degree celsius and around 100% humidity during the morning its only now that it has reduced a bit...
