It is totally terrifying but also very strange to read about the record heat everywhere while we here in Germany had probably the coldest July in a decade. We had 16C where we should have had 30C. And we had rain, a lot of rain.

Still, I'm terrified.

The world average temperature is up. Locally this puts more energy in weather

Taller storms, bigger hail, more cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes earlier and later in the season

Apparently the average is up in Germany, you just haven’t had any extremes this year.

I saw hail in fucking July in the Netherlands...
Also lots of rain of course.
Shit's getting crazier and crazier.

Yeah July was basically November

Jup, my "Summer Vacation" is now over. Very pissed off about the weather

Yeah where I'm at in southwest Ohio in the US it has been one of the coolest, wettest summers also. So in order for the average to be the highest ever, other places had to be extra, extra hot.
