The Heatwave

This isn't Current Affairs, Nym.

That’s exactly my point. This part of the forum is meant to be a safe space from your ramblings.

Is GOT more inhospitable when dealing with extreme heat or extreme cold?

@chicoazul poll?

 

[WA Toffee]

eh? i presented you with facts that contradicted the argument you attempted.

Remember, you implied 600 heat-related deaths this summer in Spain proved that the heat this year is a particular problem compared to previous years, then i countered with facts stating Spain had vastly more such deaths decades before. 6,600 deaths in just 15 days during the summer of 2003, for example.

I think you mean to say no facts will change your mind?

Mate, you linked one article which actually showed numbers of heat related deaths are going up, but claimed it said they were going down. But yeah, facts ?

I really don't understand why you are so dead against weather forecasts using colours instead of pictures of the sun though. Which, ultimately, is what you seem to be getting upset about.

I suspect he's off to Google to research some Spanish construction magazines and articles from the last 50 years about snowfall in Madrid.

Mad how a campaigning newspaper would go big on the greatest threat facing humanity

So their infrastructure and culture is geared towards one hazard but not another.

And your point is?

I’m in the airport at dalaman now and it’s 39 degrees at last check … looking forward to cooler weather in about 5 hours or so too ?

My daughter and family have just landed at dalaman.

Put the heating on a tad too high.

Cos of media scaremongering.

I don’t read much media, and have put the heating on cos am a bit chilly.

It's the hysterical headlines that get me. Looking from the outside it's nuts. It's just going to bea bit hotter than usual for a few days. You'd think you'd combust if sunlight touches you

Spare a thought for us vampires.

I linked the report earlier which described Spain's adaption to limit the effects of hot weather has saved thousands of lives.

They also have their siestas, wooden-window-doors, late-night culture (hot-chocolate bars open all night etc).


Britain being more like Spain would be pretty cool.

You obviously haven't walked through Liverpool city centre of a Friday and Saturday evening. It's like entering Dante's Circles of Hell.

Seriously though, I’ve been here 12 days and I’ve struggled this time with the heat .. it’s been unbearable at times
