Yep.
At the moment, if I look out of my window, weather is damp and miserable and the earth is flat.

Meteorology basics. Where does the cold air come from? What happens to all the warmer air that gets sucked up into the upper atmosphere over the warmer oceans? Very complicated?
Around 32-34 in the Veneto region. Pissing at home, I think I‘ll stay a couple more days.

I'm glad I don't live in Death Valley, California. I heard on the news last night that it was 55C (131°F) yesterday. I've been in saunas that weren't that hot.

A motorcyclist died this weekend and three more were hospitalized. Who the Fh@k goes on a tour to Furnace Springs in July? On a bike? It was too hot for the helicopter to fly them out and they had to wait for the ambulance to drive in.
This is where the 2035 Honda Goldwing with the environmental riding suit with air conditioning will be helpful! The sealed helmet with pollution filter will also be popular.

Unless you're hydrating constantly it would be horrible medically not to mention not fun. We usually stop every 200ks for fuel and a drink and in normal hot weather wearing even vented gear and unless you're using a Camelback while riding that usual 2 1/2 to 3 hrs of riding isn't enough stops to hydrate properly. It's scary how easily heat-related effects creep up on you and before you notice you can be in serious trouble. By that, I mean in a Hospital or with permanent injury or even dead. Thinking back I cannot believe some of the rides I did as a kid in remote places not carrying any water. So Stupid back then.

I’ve ridden through Death Valley in early October 2017, actually 2 weeks exploring the area, fascinating place!! The ‘village’ of Furnace is actually headquarters of this National Park, where of course temperature readings take place. The hottest place on earth , Badwater Basin, is actually also the lowest place in the western hemisphere, at 181’ below sea level. It’s about 1/2 hr ride south of Furnace. Badwater is truly a bizarre location. Pink and purple rock, weird collection of superheated surface water which drains down from the entire valley for 100+ miles. And an underwater cavern water system where unique little fish, found nowhere else on earth, live in super heated water. Forest Rangers stand guard over these pup fish, actually quite high population currently, at 191 individuals. It was 114f when I went through there. I was fighting a bug inside helmet riding down there, only realizing it wasn’t a bug but instantly cauterized blood streaking across my face from ny nose, from the heat and 3% humidity. Crazy cool place!!!

Well into the Tassie winter now. About 8C and raining. Snow on the mountain but I can't see it at present because of the low cloud.

The heatwave here in this part of Japan has broken. It’s in the mid 20’s, overcast with occasional rain.

here in western Canda, and local to me in Calgary Alberta, it has been in excess of 30 + Celsius for about 10 days now, ranging up to 35 - 37 Celsius. When I was in British Columbia two weeks ago, passing through southern British Columbia in a couple of spots it was 39 Celsius. Where we were staying in Kaslo British Columbia, much as I hate to admit it, for a couple of days it was too hot to ride some of the best sport bike roads in North America.
To try and beat the heat I was going out at 6 am out of Kaslo for rides, but the bloody wildlife was also out early beating the heat, 4 great big wild turkeys chose to stand in a line across the road around a blind corner which was rather startling, and they were too stupid to move out of the way
the massive forest fires are well underway, lots of thick heavy smoke and health warnings, twice a day emergency health warnings about the protracted high heat, now combined with warnings about the smoke.
