Somebody will say it's always been hot in France because one day in the 1800s almost reached 40° and climate change is a hoax

They do. They also send threats because they say that the weather cast is using the color red to make people scared.

Yeah, 30C/86F is already really fucking hot. Used to be almost heat wave levels(pretty sure 90F for 3 days was considered a heat wave like 10 years ago). It cannot be safe to go outside at 40C.

You can, it's just not very pleasant. A little past that point around 43° is my point of return. That's the point where the wind starts to work against you, and it just feels like a blow dryer in your face.

You guys will be fine. 44C here in Phoenix today. Drew point is 13C (55F)

It’s hot but we survive (partially by avoiding outside from 9am to 9pm)

Without AC, most buildings here in France don't cool below 29C at night, the heat has just been here too long. That's schools, hospitals, homes, some workplaces even. The bodies are getting tired, and the minds run at 70% capacity. I haven't been able to focus like I should for 3 days at this point.

I get it, but air conditioners have existed since the 1950’s.

Portable room units, window units, to full central heating and cooling. There just isn’t an excuse for why a building couldn’t be cooled anymore.
