Midnight.

It is 25C outside. I'm not in the tropics nor in a dessert. It is the middle of The Netherlands. In Europe. A northern land known for ice skating in the winter. Most people do not associate The Netherlands with 30C degree summers, but I guess we will from now on.

I have never experienced these high temperatures in the night here. Considering that these are the coldest summers now. And we're the 'lucky' ones.

Scary.

@BjornW

private jets dump so much carbon into the atmosphere. They should be outlawed.

@FranceskaMann Sure. But at about 2% of total commercial aviation emissions this is more about fairness and symbolism than real emissions.

The rest of people that fly, vote for politicians promoting fossil fuels / massive cars etc have an equal 'burden' here.

@BjornW At that threshold, sleep deprivation becomes an issue. Where possible it should be acceptable to take nap-time breaks at work, if air conditioning is available there. For safety and for productivity both.

@fgbjr yes it does. I think we can learn a thing or two from southern Europe like Spain with siesta.
