It’s funny, you still see people having a shot about it not being that hot.

That’s a blistering day in Queensland, where I am. With our normal humidity, it kills. I’d imagine Florida would be a good comparison. Sure, I’ve routinely felt 44-45C in summer but fucking hell, in Germany that is truly insane

A comparison would be an above 45C day here.

The other issue too is UV level and how unaccustomed they are to tolerating and preventing that.

This may be a dumb question but is the UV level necessarily changed by the heat dome?

I honestly have no idea ay, it’s not my science. I should add as well, we’re currently being battered by solar activity on top of the heat in the northern hemisphere.

I do know the southern hemisphere has higher instances of UV exposure due to it facing the sun more directly in summer.
