If you live in europe, please check in with your elderly neighbours. Hot temperatures can be deadly for old people
So why am I in Japan experiencing a slightly cooler summer (so far, yes I realize there is plenty of time to get fucked)?
Is this the new variant of ‘but it snowed once so its fine’?
That’s sort of like asking why the tide is low in Tokyo when it’s high in Lisbon; the heat has gotta come from somewhere. I think this anomaly is largely due to shifts in currents.
Because this is our first proper rainy season in years. We’ll start to get fucked hard from the first week of July. Typhoons might help a bit more this year, but more of those is due to climate change too.
so what is the unit? because it’s a hell of a lot warmer than 18C. Difference from… what historical average?
it says 2m temperature anomaly and if it got 18 degrees C hotter outside in two minutes i think i’d just accept death. i must be misreading something.
M could only mean minutes.
I think the 2m is for temperatures taken two meters off the ground. What the data range for the average is though, impossible to tell.
Let’s go from white to red, then when it gets hotter back to white followed by red
Nevermind the fact London this year is hotter than the nearest town to death valley last year.
We used to have backbone. The count rised taxes too high and people picked up their pitchforks and torches. Now the rich elite makes planet inhabitable and no one cares to even complain about it loudly.
Not only are the colours bad, but the numbers are too? How is a max of 18 in summer worrying? We are way above those numbers.
That’s not the temperature. That’s the degree to which the temperature is strange.
That’s variation from the average. It could certainly have been presented better.
What a great time to visit such a rural paradise that is Lithuania!
Whose decision was it to make “6” and “18” such similar colors
Whoever had to extend the scale in a hurry because the numbers were literally unthinkable when it was made. This year people who can have lunch in death valley national park are getting cooler temperatures than London.
Those people near death valley are living in (mostly shitty) homes built for extreme heat, with central air thick insulation and light colored exteriors, double pane windows, entry vestibules in the nicer ones, all the things nobody in england has seen outside american TV.
Where else could i cross-post this?
A better climate change map can be posted on
Amongst others
Somewhere they post horrendously bad data color choices
The product of human activity, Donald Trump’s deregulations, everyone trusting China with their manufacturing (given their own lax systems of regulation), and the rampant building of data centers.
We are all partially guilty, and the phrase “fry in hell” is of our own making.
What is up with France?
Genuinely cooking.
There were 20 drowning deaths this weekend because people were jumping into dangerous rivers to escape the heat.
Hot
It’s a fucking oven.
Possibly the worst color scale I’ve ever seen on a chart
While yes, a 14c deviation from average temperatures is fucking insane, so is this map. The scale is cooked.
That’s a 57f deviation for us mouth-breathing heathens.
+14C deviation is equivalent to +25F not 57. You don’t add the 32F for a deviation, only actual. Still an insane increase above normal though.
What’s it measuring against average temperature for this time of year because Europe does get hot at this time of year we know that. It’s also not as bad as the heat wave we had 6 weeks ago. Not too underestimate our awful the weather currently is.
It means that statistically, of the climate was constant, the temperatures we have now would be as probable as having 6°C.
Should crosspost to !Cartographyanarchy@sh.itjust.works
The graph stops at 18°C, that’s the temperature it should be not the temperature that it is. Also why does it have two whites, white is apparently both zero and 13, which is bizarre because it’s definitely hotter than 13 everywhere in Europe right now and probably in Iceland as well. This map makes no sense.
11°C here right now and boy am I enjoying it! Perfect summer, finally.
Sorry but you’re reading this all wrong
I believe the colors denote how many degrees above/below average the temp deviates.
The scale is “temperature anomaly” so this is deviation from the norm, not the temperature itself
Wtf did the map burn a hole in France?
Someone running a magnifying glass over there
Definitely feels like it (am in France).
Is this the Musk laser space weapon
Damn, some french twitter user must have called him a loser or something.
it was too hot. France has evaporated.
we should stop global warming before we lose a place we care about
Maybe we should stop climate change after the UK burns up.
Wouldn’t matter, the moment it gets hot wheel them a great to Spain anyway.
