    A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures.

    Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.

    A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain's national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.

      If anyone is interested, it's X Celsius times 9/5 + 32

        Seattle area is pretty warm today.

        We have AC, however, bless their hearts, the people who built our house put the only vents on the floor. When its cold you get warm air at the bottom of the house, which is probably OK, but the AC unit pulls air also at the bottom... Which is also OK for heating. Now think cooling for a sec. Pull the cold air from the bottom where the air is cold and then blow it at the bottom where its still cold.

                Was just talking with my friend from Latvia who said it has been the coldest end of June since forever. Climate is so fucked and its just the beginning.

                  I’m not. Today in Austin was “feels like 110 degrees Fahrenheit” according to the weather app.

                    As this keeps happening I continue to wonder when Europe and the UK will finally realize how badly they need to air conditioning. The units are (or were in the past year or 3)b way more expensive there than here in America. I dunno about current costs. It's worth it though, even if you only need it for like 1 month out of the year.

                      Ik Dutch, and have airco in every room in the house that isnt a bathroom or toilet. It's awesome. Also have 30+ solar panels so whenever I use the airco, it's run on solar power.

                        In France the government is helping people get Aircon by subsidising heatpumps, also way more carbon efficient than Gaz or fioul based central heating.

                              I wonder what's the cost for them to install one. I got mine installed and it cost around €350(rm1600 in my currency), everything included, for a japanese brand(Daikin). shouldn't be too horribly expensive for european country, especially when people started to adopt it.

                              Edit: but honestly, i wonder how well aircond would work in 40°c+ temperature, it relies on pumping heat away from the room, and if outside is so hot it wouldn't able to effectively cool the refrigerant. Still better than nothing.

                                They are trying to push people to heat pumps (basically air conditioners tech wise)

                                They are also moving towards building/efficiency regs that require completely sealed houses and forced air systems in new builds.

                                So new houses will effectively be required/encouraged to have an air con capable houses.

                                The old housing stock though? Oof. I'm on a private estate that even bans that kind of stuff!

                                  Air conditioning works just like a refrigerator in that the cooling is accomplished by the compression and decompression of gas. The outside temperature has no effect on the ability of the unit to cool the inside space. Air conditioning just vents to outside, it doesnt use outside air. The same is true for a window unit as it is for a central system

                                    It depends on the kind of heatpumps, in a lot of cases the heatpump is installed to replace a boiler, reusing the radiators and hot water circulation already available.

                                    Unfortunately in this case the heatpump cannot be used as AC.

                                      Here in Finland we just might hit +20C this week. Maybe a bit over that in the south. Maybe not coldest since forever, but definetly colder than last couple of summers so far.

                                        Across the Mediterranean to the south and east it is even hotter. Wearing shorts and putting on sunblock isn't the best way to deal with the heat, you need to shield yourself and make use of the chimney effect.

                                          Air conditioning works just like a refrigerator in that the cooling is accomplished by the compression and decompression of gas. The outside temperature has no effect on the ability of the unit to cool the inside space. Air conditioning just vents to outside, it doesnt use outside air. The same is true for a window unit as it is for a central system

                                          to a point. It still relies on radiating the heat produced at the compression stage outside to the outside air. Due to how thermodynamics work this becomes less efficient or even impossible once the outside air approaches the same temperature as the compressed gas. Once the gas can't cool down after the compressing step the ac starts to lose effectiveness fast
