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
41.2°C == 106.16°F
thanks from a Yank!
I can estimate other metrics in my head, temperature usually foils me.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I usually downvote the repetitive slogans around here, but this one certainly bears repeating. One little CEO gets shot, everyone loses their MINDS!
I can’t tell if the repetitive slogan you refer to is the one you replied to or the slight tweak of a quote from The Dark Knight that you used in your own post. 🤔
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)
“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.Hope humans get good at terraforming or building tunnels, real fast.
…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.
The rich already have it.
Or we build our house like hobbit or teletubies.
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.
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.
I suspect you’re correct purely because Trump stopped methane monitoring.
Also from all the methane that animals release too
That’s hot 🥵
The real question is, how will we blame this on tourists and other foreigners?
When they say “This is a PEN!” the plosive sounds they use are so aggressive that it heats up the air around them. Honorable nippongo doesn’t contain such violent sounds, so clearly this heat is due to the gaiks.
That’s how hot it has been in the factory I work in for like the last week already… It’s disgusting. Between 102F-106F
Hope they get some relief soon!
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
