Japan marks highest-ever temperature of 41.2 C in Hyogo
-
Japan recorded the highest ever temperature of 41.2 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, beating the previous high of 41.1 C marked in 2018 and 2020. Authorities are strongly urging people to take precautions to avoid risks of heatstroke.
The mercury hit the above-human temperature of 41.2 C in the city of Tanba, Hyogo Prefecture, at 14:39, while two cities — Fukuchiyama in Kyoto and Nishiwaki in Hyogo — also recorded extremely high temperatures of 40.6 C and 40 C, respectively.
coolest summer of the rest of our lives

Hottest temp I've ever been in was over 50. it was painful just walking outside.
I have endured a Phoenix, Arizona heat at just under 120° F and opening my motel door was like opening an oven to check on something you're baking. Our rental car had to have the AC on for about 3 minutes before sitting in the seats wasn't searingly painful. It took about 5 minute for the steering wheel to be comfortable enough to grip for more than a few seconds.

record breaking temps in Florida too though recently, just FYI.
Yeah this past Tuesday afternoon!

"Take precautions" = Run A/C = Problem gets worse.
We're really here, aren't we. Hope humans get good at terraforming or building tunnels, real fast.The rich already have it.

Climate change is here early. Probably because of undeclared or regulated methane release which is a far worse gas as far as trapping heat. Traps waaay more heat than carbon dioxide, and the US, Russia, and China dump huge quantities of it.
Not to mention the pockets of it in the melting ice caps.
wrote last edited by [email protected]We are on the trajectory that has been foreseen by climate scientists quite well. The problem is that a rise in average temperature does not just mean where it used to be 35°C max. it will be 36.5°C max. but rather the extremes will increase much stronger, so you get 40°C or more even though the average only increased by 1.5°C
As for methane leaks, we can detect them quite well nowadays using satellite imaging. You are correct, that the US, Russia and China show substantial leaks, India, Iran and a bunch of others are also in the mix.

41.2°C == 106.16°F
thanks from a Yank!

But it's fine... it's a different kind of heat....

Also from all the methane that animals release too

A fire is a dry heat too

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

The city of Phoenix shouldn't exist. It's a monument to American hubris.

Ackshually, combustion releases water vapor. If you have a gas stove, you might have noticed condensation on the side of a pot of water when starting from cold. That's why.

...at this point it's looking like the best case scenario is for humans to hurry up and go extinct so the damage can stop and minimize the number of other species we drag down with us.

Same, I went for a walk just to feel it. It was for about 5 minutes, I was fine, but it was definitely something that could kill you if you were in it for too long.

The real question is, how will we blame this on tourists and other foreigners?

I'm in Florida we call that Tuesday afternoon.
Can’t wait for Florida to lead the way in fashion soon while they continue to vote anti-science and climate change denial

wrote last edited by [email protected]It still won't improve then, though it may get less bad, less quickly. Our climate change crisis is effectively permanent and cumulative.
Edit: with a roughly 20 year delay between emissions and warming. (Before tipping points)
