According to my weather app, Pisa, Italy hit 100°F (≈38°C) today & remains under a Severe High Temperature Warning (“significant threat to life or property”). That’s 17°F above the daily average for this date. Now 6pm, it’s 95°F (35°C). 🥵
(I track Pisa’s weather because it’s near my grandfather’s hometown of Asciano di Pisa, where his family were farmers for generations — mostly growing olives.)
