A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures.

Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.

A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain's national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.

While it is hard to link individual extreme weather events to climate change, heatwaves are becoming more common and more intense due to climate change.

Not that hard after all.

From a scientific point of view this is correct, the climate system is too complex to say this particular event is due to climate change. Exceptional events happened in the past too. So you can only draw conclusions from larger statistics. What's solid science is the increasing averages, increasing frequencies of extreme events etc. If it was scientifically informed, that's what this kind of sentence mean.

Have they considered spending 5% of their GDP on weapons? That will surely save humanity.

There are steps needed to slow global warming and become carbon neutral. Those don't matter much if someone shows up and machine guns your town and loots it.

Honestly if they spend that on weapons and then use it lower the population it could help.

Shoot maybe Thanos was right...

The Mediterranean is 4-6°C warmer than usually at this time of year

I had to convert from Common to Freedom for this one. Are y'all ok over there? I'm used to that kind of heat here in the desert but goodness I couldn't imagine 115f near the coast y'all must be dying 😬

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The south of spain usually has dry air, it's at 12% right now.

But even in germany it's okay because it hasn't really rained that much this year (yay climate change), so it's hot but bearable. It's 31°C with "only" 45% right now.

We will get 37°C the next days, so I might change my stance.

Here's to drinking lots of H2O. At least it's a dry heat. I lose my shit in high humid heat.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

El Granado, Spain humidity is at 34% at this temp, so it could be much worse.
