This is #climatecollapse:
"Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking."

No. This is not shocking. It is and was predictable. And it will be predictable.
Maybe it is a good idea to change the journalistic style here. Permanently.
@muellertadzio And all other days above 40°C were 2003 or later.
So 11 days with above 40°C since 2003 and zero, nada, null, zéro in the 83 years before.
@muellertadzio @koen_hufkens Try adapting to an accelerating change #ClimateCrisis
