Comment on UK weather: Amber extreme heat warning issued as 35C heatwave approaches
cynar@lemmy.world 6 hours agoI’ve just been looking at a graph of historical peak summer temperatures. In the 70s the peak was 35.9°C, with a majority being below 30°C. Back then 30°C was extremely hot.
A lot of homes were already standing back then, with most modern homes built on the same ethos.

Highest were over 30C regularly in the 1800’s and later a peak under 30C was rare.
35C is NOT ‘extreme’ for humans or an exceptional temperature.
Yes it’s hot. But nothing more than that.
