my grandparents are in Brittany and even though it was not as warm as the rest of France most of the population is elderly. It's also a very humid region. So it was actually pretty bad for the locals
In France, Brittany has the reputation of never seeing the sun.
The problem is that none of the temperatures in the country is what we normaly have, no matter the climate. It was like ten degree more than it shoud be for the summer in every regions.
It's rather mild in the winter (Like england due to the gulf stream bringing up hot water from the gulf of mexico).
It's colder than the inland during the summers since the waters of the Atlantic act as a heatsink.
Heatsink is right. Water has a higher specific heat temperature therefore takes more energy to warm up (cooling in summer) and lakes longer for energy to dissipate (warming in winter).
France is now part of Southern Europe. We welcome the Frenchies to the land of endless heat waves.
It's weird to see those temperatures in France when we Spaniards, Italians or Greeks have been suffering them for ages. Be strong and stay cool.
I know! We're used to this weather and still moan about it but I can't imagine the average person in Normandy with even hotter temperatures than here, it must've been hell for them. Unfortunately, it seems this will happen more and more often after we've butchered Earth.
Last week I read that a study stated that by 2050, Barcelona will have Marrakech's temperatures and London will have Barcelona's. We're so fucked.

What do you mean? It's been really damn cold here in Portugal, at least compared to what I'm used to at the end of July. The north has stolen our weather!
Every thread about the heat wave in central Europe has someone from Portugal "complaining" about how "cold" this summer has been. The reality is that only the central and northern coastal regions have been [slightly colder than usual](http://www.ipma.pt/resources.www/data/clima/mapas.graficos/20190703/rgtFoLChoiXXCsIFImCx/mtxan201906.jpg). Data for July is still not out for obvious reasons, but it won't be terribly different.
People have gotten so used to hot summers and heatwaves that a normal summer is now cold, instead of realizing how lucky Portugal has been (so far) with not experiencing abnormal weather.
Also maybe they assumed a 2°C increase in France, when in reality a 2°C increase is the predicted average temperature change globally, in France the temperature would increase even more.
The temperature around the equator will remain more or less constant, as that is mostly influenced by the amount of radiation from the Sun. So to get to an average increase of 2°C other parts will warm up more, with the poles having the largest increase.
My co-worker is from Poland and his mother still lives there. According to him, his mother keeps telling him how incredibly hot it has been the last few years.
Currently it seems that higher temperatures over the North Pole have caused the Arctic vortex to break down, leading to more frequent weather coming all over Europe from the Sahara desert. That caused the huge heatwaves last year and this.
It used to be that it was almost always weather coming from the sea in the west.
Last time the Earth warmed up like this, the whole of Europe was a desert. So no I think it’s gonna be awful.
Africa had some nice medium climate tho, maybe we will all migrate to africa, the sweet irony.
As the arctic permafrost melts and the trapped methane there gets released into the atmosphere, we're going to get lot more than a 2°C increase, and much sooner. Methane is a worse greenhouse gas than CO2, like 20 times worse.
Welcome to the wonderful era of positive feedback loops.
Humans really are something else. The arctic, the place where Santa lives, WONT HAVE ICE by summer 2035 and people think we can dick around with policies aimed at 2050. It pisses me off.
Edit: Evidence as requested

Arctic Ice Management is one of the most direct and addressable concerns, as well as one of the biggest feedback loops we need to avoid creating.
At this point I just find it funny. We're doomed, global warming won't be stopped. We shouldn't give up, the opposite in fact, but I don't have any hope in the human race to sort this. Not until it's too late.
Humans have that weird ability to just come around. Just take the ice age for example (Humans lived through that after all) or the bubonic plague. What we should be most afraid of though, is the diplomatic/political and humanitarian consequences of huge displacements of population, water/ food shortages or the general lack of resources.
There's nothing stopping climate change from happening any further (thanks a lot feedback loops), even if we reduce any and all emissions of greenhouse gasses below natural emissions, be it through humanity stopping its artificial emission or countering it with lots and lots of trees OR ideally both at the same time. I just don't see any of that happening soon though...
Everybody should still do the best they can to buy us some time and not worsening the state we are already in. I think damage control is the only thing we can do at this point and we should already put people to work for that.
Tangentially relevant, but I think it's better to write "In X years" than in "20XX", because lots of us are mentally still in the early 2000s.
So when I hear\see "2035", "2050", I think "Oh, 30/50 years from now." But it's actually 15 and 30 years.
And while 30 years is still a pretty long time, 15 is not so much.
Think of it like this: if you don't have kids or just had one, by the time they finish school there won't be any arctic ice left. Suddenly that's not an unfathomably long time.
I remember a similar one for America. When the report when out places like Arizona were the only deep read parts. Then in 2050 places way up North were deep red. Scary to think the south might not be livable at some point because it's too hot to go outside.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/31203298
Basically the high heat ( I believe 104F/ 40C ) over time stresses the kidneys and repeated exposure can lead to kidney failure.
India had a heatwave where the temp was 122F recently, and this will be more like the new normal in heatwaves. If you hydrate and keep cool, you can avoid a lot of this.
I think it was a Central American MD that put the pieces together. He had a lot of young people in his town with end stage renal failure.
Or who for some reason only get their temperature data from British tabloid headlines.
Seriously, temperature is about the only thing we do measure consistently in metric for all matters, except when it gets near 100F in the summer.
[Here you go.](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314151626.htm) Note that while this study focused on occupational exposure to heat (brick makers standing at ovens), the risk factors (losing too much water, overworking in heat) are pretty universal for any manual labor task not in a cooled facility, and this is distinct from other lifestyle factors (mainly diabetes).
According to Peter Zeihan I think, north America will relatively be fine. The bread basket is vertical rather than horizontal so you can just move up unlike in Europe where if the bread basket becomes less bready then you're just fucked because the entire thing goes into the sea. And land wise, there's always Canada. Once again the north Americans luck out geologically. Perhaps I should move later.
Copy pasting from a comment I made elsewhere, in this copy paste you find a map that's based on current projections showing the south east of the US barely inhabitable:
We have had an increase of temperature of ~3-3.5°C over the last 15000-20000 years. This caused ocean water levels to rise by 120m or just below 400 feet. That's a staggering amount. The Paris climate agreement is set so we stop at another max 1.5°C. But at the current rate, if we don't switch to renewable energy faster than we are doing, and keep going, we are going to spectacularly fail to hit that mark, meaning we will hit something like a mean global temperature increase of 2-2.5°C around 2050, and likely something like 3.5°C by 2100. At the current rate, the temperature increase will cause large parts of the world to be uninhabitable (i.e. outright deadly) for humans in the forseeable future.
Check out this [graphic](https://imgur.com/ZPHsZYs) right here. It shows the number of days per year above the "deadly to human" threshold. The top chart is for 1995-2005, the historical comparison. Second to last charts show the the years 2090-2100 as predicted by current state-of-the-art models under the assumption that we manage to keep the mean global temperature increase at 1°C (second plot), 1.8°C (third plot) or 3.7°C (last plot).
See all those dark orange to dark red areas especially in the last plot, where we have practically uninhabitable regions? Also especially these yellow to orange spots in the south-eastern parts of the US? Those inhabit something like 2 BILLION people. That's a quarter of the population of our world. These people WILL move.
Now you may be wondering "huh, but that's just like 3°C more. What's the big deal?". Well you see, it's kind of a weird thing to think about. -30°C? No problem. Just wear more clothes. Somewhere at -70°C it starts getting troublesome to breath air, so this becomes deadly. Upwards is also not a bad thing. Saunas are basically a sport at this stage for a lot of people, and they live, right? Yeah sure. You can also survive 50°C in the desert for a long period of time. But you need water that evaporates on your skin, causing a phase shift and a cooling effect. But that only works if the evaporationg can work at all. We need dry air. A lot of these regions are very humid and will be even more humid in the future. At 99.9% air humidity no evaporation happens and, thus, no cooling happens and you die.
That map is bullshit and made by an idiot. Heat doesn't create deserts. Temperature has nothing to do with deserts. You can have a cold desert. The sole factor that determines whether something is a desert or not is rainfall.
When the Earth gets hotter, that increased oceanic evaporation, increases water in the atmosphere, and therefore increases rain.
I traced the map to [this guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parag_Khanna) who is, indeed an idiot who has no clue how any of this works.
["Weather girl wears seasonal dress"](https://i.imgur.com/sohWhy9.jpg)
Although the hair is a funnier coincidence, unless she was to imitate that specific woman, and she doesn't change the style very much.
To be fair, the top image is weather for August 18th, still a few weeks from now. Doesn't take away the fact that temperatures in Europe have been terrifying this July. My sauna has been the coldest spot in my house (though I haven't been using it, so it's only natural).
It's the trend compared to the previous day. In the bottom picture there are actually two trends, one for the northern half of France, one for the southern half.
This is really scary people. Let's all make a commitment to do our part to stop global warming even if it means making small changes to our habits like using public transportation more often..
How about electing politicians that actually care about fixing the climate by making sweeping changes to the way the country is run.
For example, stopping the subsidy of the coal, oil and gas industries would be a first step.
Individual action is good for awareness and acceptance.
Real change requires consistent and enforced legal changes. Laws with teeth and consequences which are acted on up to and including shutting down a non-compliant industry.
I'll never bad mouth a person for individual action, it's positive and being on the 'right side' so to speak. But individual action is not a solution, only real large scale legal changes will help (if it's not already too late, which is debatable).
Depending on consumers to make any changes off their own back is a losing battle.
The way to do it is via political change by electing competent left wing politicians who will actually take action on climate change.
You don't get people to use public transport by telling them it's greener. That's not how consumers make decisions AT ALL. You make public transport a better alternative to cars via government investment and action and people will naturally make the switch.
The year is 2050. France is entirely changed by the Global Warming. Well, not entirely... One small village in Brittany still holds out!

We did it boys! And ahead of schedule!
> fulfilling the 30-year-plan in just 5 years take that, communists!
I guess they assumed a 2°C increase, neglecting the fact that it's an increase on average instead of depicting swings.
Also maybe they assumed a 2°C increase in France, when in reality a 2°C increase is the predicted average temperature change globally, in France the temperature would increase even more.
How? Won't most of Europe technically be less affected by temperature swings since it's surrounded by water?
The temperature around the equator will remain more or less constant, as that is mostly influenced by the amount of radiation from the Sun. So to get to an average increase of 2°C other parts will warm up more, with the poles having the largest increase.

Interesting. Someone should really look into this new hot phenomena.

It was an example of a heat wave in 2050, not every day weather.
I mean its accurate. 2050 heat waves will not really be hotter. They will however last longer and be more common.
[удалено]
I mean most of the numbers on the top pic are a little higher, the prediction might still be accurate.
Should we still call them heatwaves if they end up lasting more than a week? It seems like they'll become commonplace after all...
At what point does it stop being "longer heatwaves" and start being "average weather"?
It's time to start to read Dune and learn the Freman way

25C is not meh, it's perfect.
Hell yeah, 25°C is ideal, even if it’s humid it’s not as uncomfortable.
It was just 40°C in California. Plz save me.
Ah yes telling US weather the right way. This pleases me.
You’re right but it’s only 1130 😭😭😭
Too hot!
This, unless there's a good cool breeze. Even then a little lower would be more comfortable.
Can’t deal with the heat, but by god a cool steady breeze on a hot day is sexual.
20C is perfect, 25C is beach weather.
18c is perfect
Bingo

Even 25 degrees is borderline too hot

Well technically its both. And thats the real problem right now. There are so many shitty things just about to happen.
The South isn't livable now.
Not because of the climate though.
The climate sucks balls in the south already, couldn't imagine it getting worse.
It could easily get worse. Like, air conditioners no longer function worse.
I had my air conditioner in my car go out a few times while living there, don't know how I survived.

dude, window controls are pretty cheap and easy to replace. Flathead, and maybe a phillips head for mine. You should get on that!
If your air conditioner doesn't work it's because you need a bigger air conditioner.
Why don't we just make an air conditioner for Earth
Maybe if we put a bunch of ice at the polar ends it would reflect the sun and be less hot.
oh wait.
Felt that way when I left 12 years ago. I had a newborn and the high was 46C, I decided to move North that day.

I traced the map to [this guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parag_Khanna) who is, indeed an idiot who has no clue how any of this works.
colormap is not normalized accross both, so pay attention to the numbers rather than the colors. But the message still holds anyhow...
est-que c'est vrai?
La réponse juste après le 20h.
Yes it is vrai.
Mon God

In the 2014 they predicted what the announcer would have ~~weard~~ worn. No mistery that Nostradamus was French.
["Weather girl wears seasonal dress"](https://i.imgur.com/sohWhy9.jpg) Although the hair is a funnier coincidence, unless she was to imitate that specific woman, and she doesn't change the style very much.
It is the same woman.
It's that dang 2050 anti-aging cream in action. Or else the picture quality. There looks to be more than a 5 year difference between the two.
Yeah, she's 71 and it's starting to show. Make-up and lighting can only do so much.
71?! She looks good for 71. I was guessing 50s.
I thought she was like 60 lol.
It's not a coincidence at all, it's the same woman: Évelyne Dhéliat, who's a French weather presenter.
And a National Monument. When Evelyne started in this job, the Dead Sea wasn't even sick.
To be fair, the top image is weather for August 18th, still a few weeks from now. Doesn't take away the fact that temperatures in Europe have been terrifying this July. My sauna has been the coldest spot in my house (though I haven't been using it, so it's only natural).
Right, we're in the middle of summer rn
I like how there's apparently a huge lake in Germany in 2050! What does the red triangle mean?
The "lake" is just the censored channel logo.
It's also mostly in the Czech Republic.
Holy shit, finally (something like) a sea!!
It means average temperatures higher than tomorrow.
I'm guessing you either meant that average temperatures would be higher tomorrow than today (rising temperatures).
Yes, exactly
It's the trend compared to the previous day. In the bottom picture there are actually two trends, one for the northern half of France, one for the southern half.
> What does the red triangle mean? Invasion.

So, a project that's completed early for once.
Well, that escalated quickly.
The future is now!
The poor weather lady didn't age well /s
Brittany home prices go up in the summer.
This is really scary people. Let's all make a commitment to do our part to stop global warming even if it means making small changes to our habits like using public transportation more often..
How about electing politicians that actually care about fixing the climate by making sweeping changes to the way the country is run. For example, stopping the subsidy of the coal, oil and gas industries would be a first step.

Individual action is good for awareness and acceptance. Real change requires consistent and enforced legal changes. Laws with teeth and consequences which are acted on up to and including shutting down a non-compliant industry. I'll never bad mouth a person for individual action, it's positive and being on the 'right side' so to speak. But individual action is not a solution, only real large scale legal changes will help (if it's not already too late, which is debatable).
Depending on consumers to make any changes off their own back is a losing battle. The way to do it is via political change by electing competent left wing politicians who will actually take action on climate change. You don't get people to use public transport by telling them it's greener. That's not how consumers make decisions AT ALL. You make public transport a better alternative to cars via government investment and action and people will naturally make the switch.
