I know the Londoners are going to look at this and laugh as they slowly melt into a pile of sweaty ooze, but trust me, this is starting to feel unpleasantly warm for Up North.
It's got slightly less humid as the day has worn on though.

Summer 2025 nears record heat in Spain after historic August heatwave
Extended periods of high temperatures this summer have significantly increased wildfire risks and put vulnerable communities on alert across Spain.

Spent my nervous energy preparing for the #nyc #heatwave making myself a wool coozie for my tall cans.
Check on your friends, family, and neighbors.
Designate a cool room in your home — no need to cool the whole house with a/c. Draw your shades/blinds.
Take it easy outside. Have a non electric plan for cooling down (cool shower/pool/ spray cap in a park or hydrant— fans — cool drink).

I guess I sort of understand those people who don’t like it when it’s winter and super cold outside.
(Only sort of!)

Harley and I just completed a short walk around our new community of Belle Ewart. Temperature is 29°C but really muggy. Got back to our temporary residence a bit sweaty and thirsty, but thankfully, it has air conditioning. I might have to check out our local community beach after lunch. Stay cool out there, Ontarians.

Looong train ride, and a very long EV drive later and we have arrived in the Alps.
It's 20C and raining.

Extremely hot day in the Netherlands again, especially in the South. In over a century of records until 2019, no station in the country had ever reached a temperature of 39°C.
Today was the third time the city of Maastricht saw it happen, and this was by far the earliest in summer for any station.

I do not understand why folks aren’t mildly freaking out on the extended forecasts for #NYC
Seriously #HeatWave
To have five days (!!!5 days !!!) of over 100degF
Check on your neighbors.
Prepare now for no or low power. Get your spritzer and battery powered electric fans.
We will get through this together. But it will be easier with a little bit of planning.
Where is your NYC cooling center??

#nyc isn’t ready for temperatures above 100 degrees. #hot #heatwave
Prepare yourself for a 50 degree F swing in one weeks time.
Do your vulnerable neighbors have access to a/c?
😥
NYC Folks - do you have a non electric way to cool yourself? (Water sprayers outside , shade?)

Climate change could force FIFA to rethink the World Cup calendar
Scientists warn extreme heat could endanger players and fans at the 2026 World Cup without major schedule changes.

Not your typical early summer evening here in the central Netherlands...
And a bit warmer in the city of Utrecht. But bicycle commuters still cycle home :)
More scientific post to follow when I cooled down a bit.

Good Morning #Canada
With another #HeatWave hitting most of Canada this week, my goto combat plan is - Eat #IceCream. Most Canadians obviously have the same strategy as we collectively ate over $840m of tasty frozen concoctions last year. Chocolate is the most popular flavor, but I'm more of a butterscotch guy. I think a #MercerMemories video could get you motivated to get out and restock your freezer.

Texas study reveals heat waves can cause more polluted air
Heat waves are becoming more common, severe and long-lasting. These prolonged periods of hot weather are especially dangerous in already hot places like Texas. In 2023, more than 300 people in Texas died from heat, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the most since the state began tracking such deaths in 1989. Researchers found it may not only be temperatures that make heat waves unsafe but also the heat-related increase in airborne pollutants.
