When France Is Hotter Than the Sahara, It's Everyone’s Warning.
www.lyrebirddreaming.com

France is currently glowing red with heat. Not metaphorically. Literally. Land surface temperatures in parts of the country have been recorded at levels more commonly associated with the Sahara Desert.France. The country of vineyards, alpine villages, stone farmhouses, rivers, forests and temperate European summers. Looking like the Sahara. That should stop us in our tracks.The real story isn’t that France is having a heatwave. It’s that climate change is making places behave like somewhere else

    hotter than the sahara normally, or hotter than the sahara right now?

    the media focus is on europe, but other regions of the world are experiencing heat waves too and north africa seems to be particularly affected as well, which i see almost no one talk about…

        i meant it in the sense of “is france right now hotter than what the sahara typically is, or hotter than the sahara is at this moment?”

        my point being that the sahara is also going through a heat wave

        sorry for the confusion there 😅

    A city hotter than parts of the Sahara becomes a headline for a day, then disappears under sport, politics and celebrity gossip.

    It really feels like this so much! There were quite some sad climate news this year already, but except the heatwave in Europe, they all got buried by Hormuz strait news, like:

    • collapse of AMOC now likely
    • collapse of Thwaites now likely
    • acceleration rate of warming almost doubled in the past decade to about 0.3 °C/decade

    edited a mistake

      Make sure you don’t care about anything long enough to cause a real change!

    …the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is losing strength.

    This is probably affecting this European summer more than anticipated.
