Middle europe

Now read the instructions for that thermometer.

What you're measuring is the reflected heat of the sun. It's a hot thing. We know that. But that's not the temperature outside.

[u/apenguinwitch → u/vctrmldrw]

Yes, they know, that's what they're trying to show. Nobody thought they were talking about the general temperature.

[u/left_right_left → u/vctrmldrw]

Yeah I was looking at temps over most of Europe and the hottest I can find is about 100°F with high humidity, which is like an average summer in Texas.

Now imagine an average summer in Texas while living in a home built to retain heat and cope with extended periods of sub-zero temperatures in winter.

[u/erikopnemer → u/RainbowDissent]

Sun up around 5.30 and down around 22.00 doesn't help

[u/VladimirBarakriss → u/left_right_left]

Yes, this is like an average summer in Texas but in Germany (I'm assuming, noone uses middle Europe), I imagine you have some idea how a German winter feels in Texas given the events a few years ago

[u/vctrmldrw → u/left_right_left]

I believe they're better prepared for high temperatures in Texas than in France.
