‘Stop all outdoor activities’: South Korea records its highest ever temperature
Authorities issue alert saying indoor spaces without airconditioning are ‘dangerous’ as temperatures pass 40C for fifth straight day
The south-eastern city of #Yangsan saw the temperature reach 42.5C on Sunday afternoon, the #Korea Meteorological Administration #KMA said, the highest temperature reported since modern weather observation began in 1904.
Yangsan has been the centre of an ongoing #heatwave, where temperatures exceeded 40C for a fifth consecutive day on Sunday, while many other cities including #Daegu and #Busan are seeing temperatures climb into the high 30s.
People gathered in airconditioned shopping malls or cafes to escape the blistering temperatures. Ju Dong-yeol, 27, took refuge from the heat in a Starbucks in Seoul along with his parents and told AFP “it is too hot to be outside doing anything”.

3. You know #HeatKills, right?
Maybe not this way: "Higher summer temperatures were strongly associated with increased suicide rates among youth, with the connection appearing specifically in summer."
Because they make us *feel* #climatecollapse, and for the young, that's esp. bad bad bad.

3. Back to sweltering Europe & the way #HeatKills: silently, and very unjustly.
"One in every 6 babies in England are living in overheated homes, causing sleep disruption and serious health risks."

More older and disabled people due sooner saving the govt money?
One of the reasons why COVID was allowed to spread in the first year and people slapped DNRs on us, 'they' thought it made economic sense. Of course long COVID ended up costing more instead, so back to the too many people are claiming lie. -

3. "At the World Cup there is now a one-in-four chance the wet bulb globe temperature will hit a dangerous 30C during at least one of the games."
While it's kind of a heating world to teach us about "wet bulb", I imagine players & fans dying in stadiums will spoil the mood.

According to my weather app, Pisa, Italy hit 100°F (≈38°C) today & remains under a Severe High Temperature Warning (“significant threat to life or property”). That’s 17°F above the daily average for this date. Now 6pm, it’s 95°F (35°C). 🥵
(I track Pisa’s weather because it’s near my grandfather’s hometown of Asciano di Pisa, where his family were farmers for generations — mostly growing olives.)

When you look at this chart (see alt-text for explanation), what do you feel?
Where does your mind go?
What does it make you want to do?
Would that actually help to address the issue? (Are you sure?)
If so, why aren't you doing that?
How can you take a step towards it today?
