If they evolve to withstand higher temperatures, any one of them could be capable of burrowing in our brains and taking control, not of millions of us but billions of us; puppets with poisoned minds, permanently fixed on one unifying goal, to spread the infection to every last human alive by any means necessary.

Exactly, this is something that has to be considered. Here in the southeast US, where I live we've reached 99°F so far in regular temperature, but that's like 113 (that's not exact, just a rough estimate) in wet bulb temperature. When I went to visit a western state a few years ago it was somewhere around 95-99 the whole time but to me it felt like it was in the 80s because the humidity was so much lower. It's like a rainforest here and that makes a huge difference. If you can't sweat and have it evaporate, you're in trouble.

Exactly, a lot of people don't realize this. It's generally not listed as a side effect. The most important medication I take is an anti-epileptic/mood stabilizer and I literally cannot decrease my dose or I risk becoming manic/psychotic. I can reduce the other 3, but this one absolutely must remain at this dose and it makes me extremely sensitive to heat. I'd rather get heat exhaustion than have a manic episode so I just deal with it the best I can, but not everyone has that luxury. Like people in jails and prisons. That's a huge issue there (at least in the US). I hope you make it through this summer with the least amount of suffering possible.

The Earth is heating rapidly enough that we can expect the total collapse of civilization by 2040 and all out human extinction by 2050.

Sooner, I reckon if this heat keeps up like this. Doesnt have to get much hotter if it just stays hot many days... we will just keel over. Best we make peace between each other, its likely going to become a lot worse once it really bites into wider swathes of the population: food distribution will fail I guess... sad in the comments ay, people too sick to work...

Caution : there is also something called "water poisoning" , which means if you sweat a lot you also have to use salt and not only lots of water .

without the right sodium balance you can't absorb water this is true. that's why when you're hungover chugging water doesn't work, you need to get your sodium in order first.

I've suffered depression and suicidal tendencies... I live in Miami. It's not a joke when I say, if I ever do it, on the note will definitely be "P.S. I'm finally happy I don't have to deal with this god forsaken heat anymore".

At the same time we have extreme cold here in the Bolivian Amazon, usually the cold last two or three days but this time it just continues 🥶

We've had several cold snaps here in SE Australia due to various weather factors. Bear in mind that Bolivia and Australia have reversed seasons to their Northern Hemisphere counterparts. I.e: Northern summer = Southern winter. So, our cold extremes are analogous to the heat extremes up North and vice versa 😎

When heatwave comes to Auatralia, with high humidity and the power is lost due to -what ever- I dont know ... how will I live? A little breeze, a slight wind - I can hang a hammock outside at night & throw a mosquito net over it perhaps (?)

In Texas we are used to 105-113 mid Summer. Its only in the mid 90s now. This is nice a cool for us. I work outside and am of Northern/Western European decent; acclimatization is necessary for both hot and cold weather. If a person is in AC the majority of the time, they will never acclimatize and thus have a far worse reaction in the heat. A person can think of it like training. Additionally, just because you say heat waves are happening all around the world, I am not sure that has been any difference in the last 100 years outside of the cities and heat islands, I think most people just didnt have a choice nor care. What would looking at the temp before they went to work do? Depress themselves? Train the body, train the mind, and train the spirit always to endure.

In my city, it was 15 days of temperature above 47⁰ Celcius. And I had to give the toughest exam in India...man... the table and chair alongside question paper was burning at the exam centre.😢 My eyes were burning and skin was boiling.

Am I the only one realising that ever since 2020 there's so many "new records" in extreme heat. Like so many in the news like it doesn't feel like news anymore. This is actually very worrying

God, this must be a nightmare for people struggling to stay cool. Sending prayers and healing vibes their way. Everyone deserves access to clean water, a nutritious meal, and shelter. We're not living gods plan if these key needs aren't met across the board. 😔

I'm irritable when it's hot outside, I can't concentrate, have no appetite, just drink water and go to the bathroom. Last week here in California, it started to reach 78/79F, I can't focus, I felt nausea, had headache when I was between the heat outside and enter cold indoors, especially in the freezing supermarket. Most libraries has free filtered water stations, we can fill out our bottle and use the PC or find a table to do some work with free AC. The libraries are the designated cool zones.
