They are a joke because temperatures in Spain are currently 40 degrees max (south of peninsula).

Perhaps you didn't understand my comment or the article. The 60C number is, in fact, a meaningless, joke of a number, because they're talking about how hot the ground is. Duh, the ground gets really hot. Be careful walking your dogs, though. Their paws can get severely burned quite quickly.

The heatwave has not hit its peak yet in Spain. That'll be Monday through Wednesday next week. Highs will be around 43C (109F). 40C isn't a big deal to me, but anything higher gets savage fast. The forecasts for Sardinia and Sicily actually aren't as bad as the article predicts (not even hitting 38C/100F), but wunderground could just be inaccurate.

The bottom line for reasonable people is: if you're forecast to get temps above 40C, take it seriously.

Or, like, don't. I don't know you, and I won't be affected by your death, so get fucked or don't. That's on you. You're just some human. You're the lowest form of life on this planet in my eyes, and there are far too many humans already.
