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

While yes, a 14c deviation from average temperatures is fucking insane, so is this map. The scale is cooked.

That's a 57f deviation for us mouth-breathing heathens.

+14C deviation is equivalent to +25F not 57. You don't add the 32F for a deviation, only actual. Still an insane increase above normal though.

It means that statistically, of the climate was constant, the temperatures we have now would be as probable as having 6°C.

What's it measuring against average temperature for this time of year because Europe does get hot at this time of year we know that. It's also not as bad as the heat wave we had 6 weeks ago. Not too underestimate our awful the weather currently is.

I assume it’s comparing against the average temperatures for June 21-26 as that would align with what my weather app says, which compares with the average temperatures since 1970
