If you live in europe, please check in with your elderly neighbours. Hot temperatures can be deadly for old people

That is absolutely brutal. I really hope people are finding ways to escape the heat.

Separately, this visualization is bad in a way I have never seen before: a scale of pink to dark red, where dark red actually represents 2 completely different numbers!

    Many just can't escape it, for many reasons. People are dying, and this will only become more and more common and even worse. We only see the short term effects now too, it'll be so much worse after some years when the long term effects become clear. Crops dying, water shortages, infrastructure damage etc.
