      The temperature getting that high in July in southern Italy is apparently fairly common, but no things are not fine. This just isn’t necessarily an example. The 3"+ per hour rain New England is getting this weekend is probably a better example of “not fine” as that’s highly unusual.

        Where did you read that? The higest temperature recorded in Italy was 48.8°C in Sicily in 2021. Southern Italy is hot, yes, but whats is considered “farly common” is 40-42°C in August, not July, and not 48°C

        Has a mini hurricane in my old town in Southern Germany yesterday. Blew the roof off a supermarket. (Was a Netto so only 52€ of damage to stock was done)
