I live north of Tokyo and the temperature here and in many other areas of Japan this summer was the highest ever recorded since recording began in the 1890s.

I live near Austin, TX. We had a record for most consecutive days over 105°F that stood for nearly 100 years. 7 consecutive days over 105°F. We beat it twice this year. 11 consecutive days each time.

Silver lining: bed bugs start to die at 45C, so climate change will likely kill off bed bugs in Spain. Hotels can simply turn off the AC and let a room bake in the sun.

They could just not book the hotel for two days and bugs would be heatpurged.

They’d just adapt eventually, which is the problem.

It’s called a heat wave and it’s not normal for them to be ‘normal’

Looks like the default iOS weather app.

That’s right. It’s the default weather app on iOS. Usually there’s a tile that shows you the difference of the current temperature to the average and if you tap it, there’s this graph and a nice explanation on how the data is gathered.

Wait, when did they add that!? Super cool!

For anyone else who can’t find it, it’s on the main screen, scroll down to the averages looking widget, Tap.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
