- The variability is crazy this year too. North Europe is having 30º C mid days and 12º evenings which is very unusual and obviously not great for people and infrastructure. - Sounds like normal continental weather to me. - These kind of ranges are normal in the North East of Germany if you are outside the heat islands of cities. If by North you mean Scandinavia it might be a bit unusual there because of all the water mellowing out the temperature range, but for central Europe such ranges are to be expected. 
 
- Can we call it “earth overheating”, because that’s what it is? - We tried that, but US conservatives got confused when they saw snow. - deleted by creator - I agree. - But I’m not the one needing to be convinced, the snow argument was touted by Trump himself as well as echoed in other conservative spaces. 
 
 
 
- I feel sorry for Europeans who aren’t geared for this. Couple of years ago a monster heat dome sat on the Pacific Northwest. Many of my coworkers lived in and around Seattle and were suffering the lack of AC. My brain can’t imagine living without. - ACs contribute to heat domes.
