Western Europe is currently facing a scorching heatwave with temperatures in Spain, Britain and France exceeding 40 degrees Celsius — which, in Fahrenheit, is about 104 degrees. Amid the rising temps, Britain issued its first-ever “red warning” for extreme heat this weekend.


In Britain and France, most people don’t have air conditioning because it usually never gets very hot in the summers. As a result, public health officials and citizens are deeply concerned about possible deaths and health problems from the extreme heat.


This heat wave is not just in Western Europe, however. In North Africa and Asia, extreme heat is also pummeling people who don’t have air conditioning.

This extreme weather, a result of the climate crisis, may also interfere with agriculture. Further, it looks to be increasingly normal. Last year and 2019 also saw record-breaking heat waves in this part of the world, as well as forest fires.


A viral tweet from a “genuine Australian” offered advice to English people facing the heat while
Americans online expressed deep concern about the flaws of the Celsius system.



Many compared the current heatwave to the famous 1976 heat wave, with some older posters arguing that '76 was worse and young people should get over themselves. Others then pushed back.


As weather patterns continue to change and disrupt lives, get ready for more memes made by people grappling with the new normal and Americans and Europeans arguing over who uses the more rational method of measuring temperature.
