nslatz‘I’ve never seen heat this bad. It’s not normal’: Italy struggles as temperature tops 40C 118f
robocallDoes Italy have air conditioned cooling centers like California does?
photonic_sorcererClimate control technology never reached Europe. Every building is a sweltering hellhole, unless youre in the first floor of a concrete building.
California offers the public to visit certain public buildings and community centers to cool off for free during heatwaves. It saves lives. It would be great if the Italian government could offer something similar. I know they have some very old buildings, but they have some that could facilitate this. Or they should build more pantheons if they reject air conditioners.
I read something in the news about inviting people to churches. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself for several hours there, also the seats are pretty uncomfortable. But better than a heatstroke I guess.
