I guess it's worth pointing out that europe-west2 is in London, which is currently at +35°C and was as high as +40°C at one point earlier today.

Equinix LD4/5/6 (Slough, Greater London) is the datacentre affected

So N+1 is not enough? https://www.equinix.com/data-centers/europe-colocation/unite...

Valid point, but I'm assuming that they never imagined 40-degree (outside) temperatures lasting multiple hours as a threat. Slough just got hit around 40.2 degrees, first time since records began.

It's a bit of a stretch to call europe-west2 "London" when it's Slough

It's also a bit of a stretch to call it "Google" when it's an Equinix datacenter. I know this is standard across all major cloud providers, and call me old-fashioned, but personally I'd prefer a bit more accuracy in naming of each region. Instead there is obfuscation. It's weirdly difficult to find a list of which datacenters correspond to which cloud region.

Probably better to point out to move to Finland (europe-north1) as it's only 18 degrees.

If everyone here in the south follows this advice., Finland will sink

Belgium and Finland have better capacity than London/Zurich.
