If you live in europe, please check in with your elderly neighbours. Hot temperatures can be deadly for old people

I feel bad for all the native animals and plants that aren't acclimated to the warmer weather. Also, am I reading that correct? 18°C? That's mild where I live lol.

Edit: Or is it saying +18°C? Confusing map

    The tiny text above the map explains the map. It's the temperature anomaly, so how much warmer June 21st 2026 was than some 'normal' level, with the normal level presumably based on historical June 21sts or historical June days at each point of the map.

    I saw it, it just was a little confusing to see what the data was trying to represent. Anomaly makes it seem like the temperature itself was the anomaly. It would make more sense to just say Temperature Variance to me.

    Yep, agreed with the previous commenter. +18 means that temperature is 18°C higher than the norm for June (in that area) Ireland swelters under 26° and full sun, which is definitely unusual here, it should be 15°C and rainy.
