And that was actually in the UK.
I think the subject of a recent adaptation report from the Climate Change Committee said,
was recommending that within the next decades we do get air conditioning in care homes and nursing homes in schools.
We can say that the heat that we're experiencing is very much from combination of natural variation plus all this extra warming that we've heated the planet up by from burning fossil fuels, from destroying nature.
And so just adding all these planet heating pollutants into the atmosphere.
El Nino is going to hit later on in the year.
It's forming currently in the Pacific.
By November or so, it's expected to peak in strength.
And that basically means next year will, scientists kind of expect, will quite likely be a horrifically hot global year.
For now, this summer, we're only a few weeks into the summer and it's already shaping up to be a very, very hot one here in Europe.
The best advice I think that a lot of health experts give is drink water, stay in the shade, avoid the hottest parts of the day, keep your windows and blinds closed if you've got them, if you can.
so that you don't have direct sunlight filling your rooms.
Might sound counterintuitive, but don't always just leave your windows open because at a certain point, if it's hotter outside than inside, then you're just letting even hotter air into your house.
All of that being said, one very urgent thing that people often say can have almost an outsized impact is basically checking in on vulnerable neighbors, family members, friends.
And that is partly because the people who are dying in heat waves are
And most often people with underlying health issues, people who are older, women are more at risk, people who are pregnant are more at risk.
I don't know.
I mean, it's something where I've heard doctors describe it as just a very, very easy fix.
Particularly if people are living alone in these conditions, they don't have air conditioning, they maybe don't know how to respond as quickly when heat hits.
There's a lot that can be done.
