I mean if I was Indian I would be terrified right now, as such heatwaves in Europe suggest that the El Niño comming this year will be big. Which means the Monsun will be way smaller than usual. Which is suboptimals as India specially the Mumbai region relies on the Monsun for drinking water.
This hear’s El Nino was stronger than usual and the Monsoon is weaker. But we knew that a few months ago, following the heatwave in SEA (and weather forecasts).
What surprised me was that even people from india living in europe complained so much about the heat. They were in full survival mode, just as the rest of us
Infrastructure and activity patterns in India are usually designed to help survive the heat. Those in (northern) Europe generally are not. We are not a different species, lol.
Yeah, some colleagues from India expressed their concern last week, because they heard how hot it was here.
Felt really weird to have that be actual concern and not just them mocking us, because they’re used to + equipped for worse temperatures.

While I was in full survival mode, I saw plenty of people in the midday 40°C heat running their daily half marathon 🤦♂️
They got hit by heatwave a lot last time, also 40+°c. At that time people doesn’t care because it’s just India.
