SeaJ,

Summer is still a few weeks away…

I’m starting to think Kim Stanley Robinson predicted the future.

grue,

That is getting dangerously close to unsurvivable wet-bulb temperatures.

13esq,

Two summers ago it reached 40°C in fucking Scotland.

I unironically bought some kaftans for my wardrobe because I was fucking dying in jeans and t-shirt.

Highest temp ever recorded in Scotland was 34.8 degrees.

Cheradenine,

What you say seems like a fact (and is backed up by, well, a fact) however, bro says he bought kaftans. So, I’m going with kaftan bro, not some kilt wearing know it all.

13esq,

Well it felt like 40! lol

Nah I was thinking of the same week that it was 40 degrees in London I think and it was bad enough in Scotland.
