TIL #1:
1. Da die Luft nachts ungefähr bis zum Taupunkt abkühlt, lässt eine morgendliche Tiefsttemperatur von mehr als 15 °C einen schwülen Tag erwarten.
2. Ab Taupunkt über 16°C spricht man von Schwüle
3. Liegt die nächtliche Tiefsttemperatur über 20 °C, spricht man von einer "Tropennacht", welche für viele Mitteleuropäer schwer erträglich ist.

PSA: 🥵 Idk who needs to hear this, but in a heatwave for the love of science use air conditioning. If you don’t have air conditioning, get a portable unit as soon as possible.
The climate is going to get hotter and heat can very easily kill you or a loved one or a pet; or cause permanent disability.
Heat is a lot more dangerous than cold temperatures; even if you’re “young and healthy”.
The climate is already fucked and has long reached a tipping point as far as humans go—our only bet is large-scale CO2 extraction.
Sacrificing your health “to save energy*” for an imaginary fight that we have already lost is stupid. It’s also one of those “individual responsibility” mindfucks—the culprits for pollution are industry maximizing profits and governments that are not acting.
Anyway, stay cool.
*note that AC uses overall a lot less energy than heating does
