It’s hot, even for the USA, but the real issue is these areas don’t have universal air conditioning like we tend to in the USA. They aren’t being wussies or just not used to it, these are dangerous temperatures regardless of where you are.

minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoThe good news is a well insulated house is easier to keep cool when/if retrofitted with split zone heat pumps. The bad news is we’re gonna throw Europe past the climate range where heat pumps do the jobby.
