    While yes, a 14c deviation from average temperatures is fucking insane, so is this map. The scale is cooked.

      It means that statistically, of the climate was constant, the temperatures we have now would be as probable as having 6°C.

        +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.
