      You should know that India will suffer deadly wetbulb temperature as climate change progresses, and will probably witness massive migrations.

      Wetbulb temperature meaning high temperature combined with high humidity/air moisture.

      ice packs against an artery help, too. the neck, the crease between the groin and thighs, under the armpits, and under the knee, are all perfect spots. just make sure you do it over clothes or have a rag wrapped around it.

    it hit 100°F (38°C) in Mid/Northern Appalachia today. for those unfamiliar, it’s the large mountain range in the eastern US. it gets humid often, but never the sweltering heat like this. the shade from the mountains and the forests outside the cities usually keep things cool. the plants are withered, people’s gardens are shriveled in the sun. the leaves on the trees in my home have turned red. a lot of people, myself included, can’t afford constant air conditioning, and most homes have poor insulation. people here are absolutely going to die from the heat. it’s not an exaggeration.

      Hottest I’ve ever felt it there was yesterday. Did a lot of physical work and it always is cold (even in the summer most years lol) and now it genuinely felt so terribly warm.

    26C here, I recently moved to the mountains and nothing could make me move back.

    The city I moved from is like 38 right now. Just to add to that, most of my country just increased electric bill costs by 50-75% at the beginning of the summer. (Thanks Russia sanctions)

      Thanks Putin, large corps that have been making huge profits while stealing our future, and incompetent/ corrupt governments that have allowed it to happen.*

          Isn’t Russia still seing gas to Europa? Over different pipelines I mean. I remember hearing about some exceptions to the sanctions for eastern European countries.

            They’re selling gas through other countries, like China and Turkey who buy Russian LNG and resell it to Europe, but the US took up most of the void left by the attack on Nord Stream.

    it has consistently gotten to 30-32C where I live, I’m kinda lucky insofar as I can stay pretty cool even without AC(I have it if I need but I prefer not to)for a while, but once I get hot, I sweat to no end😓😥🥵
