48 degrees - the temperature record for Europe set in Greece in 1977 at least until any current records are confirmed.

It’s worth reminding this is at midnight. Many parts of the worlds are hitting 48 and 50+ temperatures these days.

Kerala had 50 degrees C a few years ago. Kerala! the state they call "God's own country" in tourism ads. It is anyway a hot state, being right down south in India, but 50 was crazy. Then what will hell be like, I wonder.

Edit: And Kerala also had abnormally disastrous floods around the same period, +/- a few years.

Some people got leptospirosis.

Shit.

I heard from someone who had been there, that Gulf countries such as Dubai routinely touch 50 or more.
