And there's kind of two reasons for this.
On the one hand, teachers are kind of forced to send kids home because it's just too hot to concentrate.
You can't study in these temperatures.
Employees will also know, but maybe have less flexibility, that you also often can't work in these conditions.
But it is always a bit of a question mark, right?
Because children are returning to homes.
Some of them may be going to very nice air-conditioned homes.
Some of them might live in nice green areas where they've kind of got something happening to get rid of this urban heat island effect that just bakes cities further than the surrounding countryside.
But others will be going to poorly insulated homes that kind of just let the heat get soaked up.
Exactly.
So Germany for now is, I mean, it's still very hot.
I think the issue when some of these heat waves hit is that your sense of scale just completely warps, right?
I think I was in 32 or 33 degree heat outside on Saturday for the whole day.
And these are uncomfortable temperatures.
You've kind of quickly moved past the threshold where sitting with friends in a park and maybe enjoying a beer or something is fun.
And it quickly becomes dangerous.
And so parts of particularly Western France and across Spain, you are like if you open up these maps of what the weather has been over the last 24 hours or what it's forecast for the rest of the week, we are seeing these temperatures of 40 and above.
And I think that's something that is just very hard to comprehend in most of Western Europe.
Yeah, so on the one hand, you have these countries across Southern Europe on the Mediterranean, which by far are exposed to the most kind of
astonishing temperatures that really lead to push the body past what it's able to cope with.
