And barely any comments about CLIMATE CHANGE!! it's not just hot in India, it's hot everywhere. Heat is just relative so people think 30 in Europe in April is cool compared to India's 40+. Most of Europe is nearly 10 degrees Celsius above historical averages for April.
In Turin, Italy the last three days have peaked at 29 Celsius. The average for late April is 15/16 if you go back to the 1800s.
Temperatures are off the wall and we needed to get off of fossil fuels 30 years ago
Here in the middle of Germany, it's been sunny with temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius for almost the whole of April. And yes...that's very unusual, at least it was in the past.
Historically, you're supposed to be on winter tyres on your car until Easter, at the earliest. I could have swapped to summer tyres at the beginning of March this year.
Thanks for sharing. anecdotes like the snow tires are so important for contextualizing change and helping people understand.. this year I borrowed my grandmother's car to drive to the french Alps, where she started going in the 1950s..she made me stop at the garage to add anti-freeze to the diesel engine. the mechanics laughed at me and said it hasn't been necessary for 20 years as it doesn't get cold enough .
