    Temps up to 40c is concerning? I’ve had to travel to the Northeast US multiple times over the past few years, and from July-August the average temperature has been 38-45c consistently for nearly 2-3 months straight.

      It largely depends on whether such temperatures are common or not in a particular area. Places that don’t normally experience such temperatures can end up with a lot of problems. For example, everybody turning AC on at the same time can bring down the electric grid.

        Yes, but I’m telling you that the region has normally experienced these temps for nearly 10 years at this point. It’s not normal, but everyone already expects for it and prepares. Even the utilities companies.
