Someone posted a nice map of the current heat wave peak temperatures. As the climate continues to change, we should expect heat waves with higher temperatures and longer durations.

For reference, 35 C / 95 F 100% Humidity Wet Bulb temperature is the absolute limit of the human body, beyond which organ and brain damage awaits. It can only endured in short bursts. If you don't have a way to quickly cool down like A/C, you'll succumb within a few days. For cold-adapted people, this limit will be even lower.

It's about 43 C / 109 F at 50% humidity and 54 C / 130 F in very dry areas.

There's a lot of countries getting hit by these heat-waves that don't have adequate infrastructure for widespread A/C utilization. They will form migratory pressure in the near future.

India is going to miserable. Thank the Himalayas for blocking all that heat

Mingyang in Q1 announced profit of 304m RMB on 5B RMB of revenue. Doesn't sound like a huge earnings, but it did lose money a year ago so this is a nice turn around. Again, Chinese renewable industry is not losing money despite these claims otherwise
