An international team of climate experts known as the World Weather Attribution initiative analyzed the late June heatwave in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and came to a preliminary conclusion that it was a roughly 1-in-1,000-year event.
The extreme weather has bent roads, melted power cables, and triggered heat warnings for 50 million people in North America.
But other continents are suffering too. In Europe, for example, a massive forest fire is ravaging Greece for the 7th day.
However, pictures often speak louder than words. So Bored Panda compiled a collection of vivid images that perfectly sum up how the high temperatures have affected people and their surroundings this summer.

Agreed. My 11 year old labrador never spent a single night outside. She has her own reclining chair and we keep our 24 foot pool just for her, even if she's old, she loves to take quick dips in the pool. She is a part of the family and as such, she should have what she likes.

This has to be one of the MOST THOUGHTFUL acts of fur baby kindness I can possibly imagine. Add another goal to my list of "When I am financially able, I am gonna..." items.
Extreme heat might not sound as dramatic as hurricanes or floods, but the National Weather Service has deemed it the deadliest weather phenomenon in the US over the past 30 years, on average. And by far.
Of course, a heatwave in one state might not be a heatwave in another; the definition is usually relative to local weather conditions, with sustained temperatures in the 90th to 95th percentile of the average in a given area. So the threshold for a heatwave in Tucson is higher than the threshold in Seattle.

And I am forced, against my will, to drink many bottles of cold beer throughout the day.
As Umair Irfan pointed out for Vox, heatwaves begin with a high-pressure system (also known as an anticyclone), where atmospheric pressure above an area builds up. That creates a sinking column of air that compresses, heats up, and oftentimes also dries out.
The sinking air acts as a cap or a heat dome and traps the latent heat already absorbed by the landscape. The high-pressure system also pushes out cooler, fast-moving air currents and squeezes clouds away, which gives the sun an unobstructed line of sight to the ground.
The ground — soil, sand, concrete, and asphalt — is then free to bake, and in the long days and short nights of summer, heat energy quickly accumulates and temperatures climb.

During extended dry spells, it's nice to put a shallow pan of water out in your yard for the birds and any other animals that come along. I save plastic take-out contains for this, especially the ones from catered meals at work. The big salad containers from Panera make excellent bird baths/drinking pools.

Heatwaves typically last around five days, but can stick around for longer if the high-pressure system is blocked in place. “In some cases, you actually can get these kinds of patterns getting stuck, and that can lead to heat waves lasting much longer,” Karen McKinnon, an assistant professor of environment and sustainability at the University of California Los Angeles, told Vox.
Eventually, the high-pressure system will weaken, allowing in cooler air and precipitation that can bring the heatwave to an end. However, as the warm season continues, more high-pressure systems can settle in and restart the process.

I'm just gonna go ahead and explain this because I imagine a lot of people, especially younger ones, won't know what this is. As cassettes were on their way out and CDs and walkmans were on their way in, a lot of cars could play a cassette but not a CD.

M O'Connell 4 years ago
The refrigeration system in a vending machine can only handle so much load.

That left the vending machine as a bit of a greenhouse and the cans heated up until they burst.

It Has Been So Hot Where I Live, That This Outhouse Melted
A B C 4 years ago
I'd assume that depends on how much poo is in there, and if there are liquid chemicals - if not, and if it's only used occasionally, I'd expect the poo to just dry up and almost not stink at all.

Don't feel bad! We were at an air show where the Thunderbirds were going to perform. One of the pilots was the cousin of a neighbor, so we had an all--around pass. We were standing by the gorgeous F-16s, when we noticed the landing gear was melting into the tar! They did not perform that day because they had to run tests to be sure there was OK!

Hot Enough To Fry An Egg
117.6° in the shade at my house. The patio was 144.8°. I've heard the expression "Hot enough to fry an egg outside," enough times to try it.

My AC Exploded On A Recording Breaking Heat Wave In Oregon
Katie Lutesinger 4 years ago
One summer here during a really bad heatwave everyone had their aircon going full blast and bam - complete blackout. Later on we found out we had overloaded the system and an underground cable had exploded. I saw it the next day when some guys came to dig it up, and it was all burst apart and blackened.

Yep. Such a myth that it's is happening right now, and cutting emissions is pretty much something we had to do 30 years ago, and now the only way forward is "adapt infrastructure and lifestyles, b/c this b*tch ain't turning around any time soon". Third-generation eco-nut, and we're past that tipping point, but people keep finding reasons we aren't. Nope. Reality check: Global Warming Is HERE. The climate HAS changed.

you can easily get heat stroke or heat exhaustion if you work outside in these temps... study up online on the many resources there about what to do if you or a co-worker starts to go down with heat exhaustion... I live in Texas, and have had to work outside all day in 109 degF (43 degC) temps before... yep, had heat exhaustion with cramps, sweated out until the skin went dry & turned blue... call for help if you get to this point, go take a cold shower with clothes on if necessary, drink plenty of liquids... put ice packs around the head, in the armpits, and in the groin area to pull the heat out of the body. Put one level teaspoon of salt in a quart of very cold ice water to make your own quick & easy electrolyte solution.. Drink it all slowly. Repeat if necessary. If you are so dehydrated that you can't keep it down, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM... You are in big trouble. A heat stroke can turn into a real stroke. You could be in a wheelchair the rest of your life if you don't deal with this. Also don't drink anything with caffeine in it since this will increase the blood pressure & the possibility of a real stroke. THIS IS SERIOUS, FOLKS!

I need to say this again in these comments but NEVER give your dog ice or allow them to drink iced water or lay on ice. Ice actually raises their core temperature which leads to heat stroke which we know can be fatal - and very quickly - in dogs. You are far safer to let them drink tap water and dampen a bath towel which you can then rub on their fur.

where i live, the weather is 32-34 (celsius), sometimes even 35 or 36, but the weather report says it feels like 37. additionally, when it is raining, temperatures can dip to 21, which isn't normal here as i live in a place where it is tropical
