Is going to? It actually is. We are rn putting alarms to open the house on the half an hour where the temperature drops below 23°C. We have 31 days and 24 nights. The usual here on hot season is 16 nights and 24 days so we don't even have air conditioning. We literally are strategically airing the house to cool it a little bit...
Of course, the current El Niño is in the early stages of formation and might not live up to the hype. But if the forecasts prove accurate, it would be a whopper (NY Times)
It's still spooling up. I'm afraid to experience this thing at full force.
We are not even on the same continent. Nice default Americanism I guess. I intentionally put the Celsius degrees to que people that it wasn't the US they are right, I'm the one that ignored context.
You're on a chain about El Niño, and commenting as if you're effected. That implies America's, or the Pacific broadly at most. Regardless, what they said is perfectly relevant to the thread. If you were speaking of hot climate in general then you're the one putting yourself somewhere you don't belong.
People in north america use celcius.
Let people talk from their own perspectives, what's wrong with that? You can talk about how it'll be from where you live, but how dare they?
It was 36C where I live last week. If I didn't have AC I'd be dead. Luckily, we're only looking at ~30C this week. But I'm still gonna be running the AC.
The maps show how El Niño commonly affects Northern Hemisphere winter and summer climate patterns around the globe. Notice that there are no consistent impacts on North America during the summer months, while areas around the tropics and Southern Hemisphere subtropics (Australia, for example) experience impacts in both seasons.
Well, El Nino is a phenomenon in the pacific ocean. It being strong enough to have a direct effect on Europe would mean we are pretty much fucked.
Europe is mostly affected by the gulf stream, which: surprise motherfucker, is also having very strong variances due to the climate collapse in the last years.
Wow, I'm not sure that I've ever seen a map that splits down the Atlantic ocean vs Pacific! Really threw my brain off for a moment having the Americas off to the right side, rather than the left. I can definitely see why it was done that way, but just so odd to realize how infrequently I encounter maps drawn that way.
El Niño's still around? I haven't heard that name since I was a kid in the 90s! When's it going to mature into El Adulto already? Like seriously, grow up and get a job already!
get a portable ac, even a used (working) one is better than nothing. just seal the exhaust in a window well enough. i live in one of the coldest countries but even i can't survive the summer without two of those
i would not survive there lmao. can you set up some kind of shade to block the sun? also for the portable ac to cool the place effectively you need a window slightly opened somewhere for replacement air.. but you probably already did those
We had a hike, picnic and some time at the beach yesterday, before the temperatures got too crazy. Today is be inside with curtains drawn and windows closed until the outside temperature drops below the inside temperature!
So, you’re plagued with ravenous monsters, bounty hunters, and a Holy Half-Dead who has seen the Underverse and returned with powers we can't imagine? NGL, seems like a rough location.
Remember when it gets too hot outside and people start showing up at night. Don't let them in however being alone makes you a target of the Pale Visitor.
If I find myself unemployed in the summer, I only apply to jobs where I'd be working in a giant fridge or freezer. They always give you warm clothing to wear as part of the PPE, but I end up only ever using gloves because I'm a super hot person. But then they yell at me for violating OSHA rules or some bullshit. 😖
Those cheap reusable ice packs you get at the grocery store for coolers and lunch boxes work great for long lasting cooling when it’s hot without AC. You can cuddle them for literal hours without it fully melting. And they’re so cheap it’s easy to have a backup in the freezer.
I just take a cold shower ever few hours, not even a real shower basically a rinse takes two minutes and doesn't cost more in electricity. I just feel bad telling people to use electricity to stay cool if it was that easy they would have already spent the money but for some reason they can't.

I keep seeing stuff about this being the strongest El Niño year on record, so that last panel is going to be real.

If you have an attic, pop it open and stick a deck of cards in there. Hot air rises, so it should help.

Yeah. Actually, according to this, it doesn't typically affect summer weather in North America. Huh.
