I live in Belgium (bordering the north of France), and... yeah, that's rough. It's been at least 30° since this weekend, and the temperatures are expected to still rise up to 38° on Saturday. Yet we're still "cooler" than most parts of France that already went up to 40°.
Meanwhile, all our goverments can do is publish bullshit like "drink water" and "find a cool place". We will all suffer and no-one will ever be held responsible.

Iv been monitoring the discourse around this heatwave and its truly bonkers to see people claim this is business as usual. There is the 'Its just summer' crowd(specifically here in the uk) that claim this sort of weather happens every summer which is just not true, although will become more frequent. This is countered with ever redder heat maps which fuels their conspiratorial thinking that its all a massive scam for net zero or whatever. There are some seriously unhinged takes out there about the current weather which I don't even know how to try unpick.
As sad as this story is I wonder if it will have an impact on the climate change deniers as it isn't the apocalyptic catastrophe they think scientists are predicting.
