    For my fellow Americans: That’s 118.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Fun fact: That’s also the temperature of Satan’s taint.

      Just a Sunday afternoon in Phoenix. Hope it’s at least a dry heat there or they’ll sail over wet bulb max easily, though I’m fairly sure southern Italy does get that hot in July.

        The difference is, most people in Phoenix have air conditioners. The danger, aside from the heat itself, is that there is little refuge other than going to a place that does have AC, which isn’t an option for everyone.

          There a really good point. We take the AC for granted mostly, while it’s an usual sight in many parts of Europe.

    I don’t see any mention of wetbulb temp so that’s kinda good news?

    Stay cool my European brothers!

      Isn’t the wet bulb temperature measured in real time for it to have a semblance of accuracy?

      We’ll probably hear of ot on the days of highest hear. If they reach it.
