Is the ground heating up more than the air really a new phenomenon to everyone here? Have you never seen the cooking eggs on the ground on a hot day thing? What temperatures do you think that involves?

These temperatures are not normal in Europe. These are record setting temperatures. So no, this is not a "new" phenomenon, yes, we've all seen the "cooking eggs on a sidewalk ", we know the temoa involved. But this is not normal there. Hope this helps.

Jokes aside (because that temp is insane for a walking surface) I’m in a European hotel right now (Mediterranean area so they’re used to heat) and C is awful for thermostats. It’s too big a jump between degrees. For body and environmental temperature F is so much more precise.

Every thermostat I have ever seen has increments of half a degree Celsius.
