France recorded its hottest day ever as an early heat wave gripped Europe. The high temperatures on Tuesday prompted the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre museum to restrict visiting hours.
Currently visiting Europe from Australia. The heat’s undeniably quite bad, but it’s high time Europe started investing in public infrastructure, building codes, and service laws to support people in these heat waves. I’m shocked at how difficult it is to access water anywhere!!
These heat waves have been basically yearly and yet my family in France and the UK for some reason remain allergic to just getting an air conditioner. Sure, I get it, you don’t need it most of the year, but this at this point not at least buying a portable unit is ridiculous (and yes I know about European windows, that’s why I suggested a portable, way easier to rig a temp mount for a hose with some thick plastic sheeting at the worst case of all of the windows in the house won’t work as needed for the typical mounting set up)
