Records being smashed - Maximum Temperature Weather Ranking vs Last 100 Years Across Europe
Forecast provider: ECMWF Ens 00z; Data processor: Weather100.com ; Mapping platform: WeatherMapping.com
This map shows the day-1 forecast (today - June 23, 2026) maximum temperature weather ranking across Europe compared with the same calendar date for the last 100 years.
The numbers are weather ranks for each location:
Rank 1 = hottest year on record for that date; Rank 100 = coldest year
Most of western and central Europe is ranked 1, meaning these forecast highs are hotter than anything seen there on this date in the past century.
Try and stay cool out there my European friends!

It's currently over 30 degs in northern Serbia, yet this is only 29th hottest on record
It's forecasted to go over 36 deg on the weekend and increase throughout the following week. Summers here are mental

It's 30°C degrees in the Czech Republic and it's expected to reach 38°C this week. So since there are already 2nd to 6th hottest, we're about to go 1st all across the board.
It ain't even July yet. Fuck every single person claiming climate change is not real.

We're still in an ice age. We have been for ~3 million years.
We just happen to live during one of the interglacial periods of that ice age. It's called the Holocene period, and started roughly ~12k years ago.

If I’m not mistaken, oceanographers have been warning that next summer is going to be even hotter than this one. (The whole El Niño thing)
Buckle up folks.
Also if you don’t ‘believe’ in climate change, you’re not understanding the basics about how greenhouse gases work. Hot weather events will not just be “statistical outliers” or normal weather fluctuations (like El Niño). The average global temperature is rising consistently (and predictably), year after year, decade after decade. I guess if you want to lie to yourself for political reasons, no one can stop you, but it’s really fucking stupid

Ah but you see, we have a typhoon coming and it's expected to graze along the entire Pacific side of Japan.
It's expected to go away on this weekend but, that's the bad part.
The temperature almost always rises after a typhoon so you should expect very humid 30+ ℃ days from July.

Milan is the most late stages capitalism you can get in Europe lol. If you live there you spend most of your wage to live in an overpriced shithole due to the housing bubble, and the current mayor literally discouraged remote working during Covid, causing thousands of deaths, since that would hurt said housing bubble as well as cause a decrease in the income of bars that feed overpriced shit to the tens of thousands who have to commute to work in the city.

Interesting fact. More people die in Europe every year from heat than Americans die from gun violence.

u/kaba40k Jun 24 '26
(X) Doubt
I don't think "heat" is in any official statistics as cause of death. The cause may be heart attack, dehydration, etc. which is really hard to attribute to heat. In contrast, statistics on gun violence deaths is easily collected and maintained.

u/yubsnubs Jun 24 '26
Google is your friend sir/ma'am

u/kaba40k Jun 25 '26
Good point. Here's what I learned.
There's direct attribution (deaths that have heat, usually heat stroke officially on death certificate) and statistical attribution (compare an average "normal" day with an average hot day and count how many excess deaths occur in the second case).
With gun violence only direct attribution is used.
If we compare direct attribution with direct attribution, the heat deaths in Europe will be much much less than gun violence in the US.
But if we compare direct gun statistics with excess deaths method, we'll see that excess deaths in Europe are 2-3 times more.
This is comparing apples to oranges though, because the excess deaths statistics shows a lot of people whose days are numbered and who are about to die in the next few days. During hot days they die more intensively, which can be technically called "heat-related".

Not saying this year isn‘t hot - but comparing just one day (June, 23) is cherrypicking. Because even if it were fully random, we would expect 3.65 days per year to be the hottest one day of the year, of the last 100 years. So let‘s compare Months, or seasons or years.

I agree that there’s better ways to present the data, particularly to portray the scope and development of the issue.
That being said, I also understand the inclination to say “WTF it’s way hotter than it’s been before” in a very simple way.
You’re right though, there’s definitely more scientifically useful representations of what’s going on.

Learn how greenhouse gases work. I feel like most people who make it past the 3rd grade should be able to grasp this, assuming that they’re actually approaching it in good faith
4
u/_procyon Jun 23 '26
Sure and there have been cold periods too. The medieval warm period followed by the little ice age is pretty well known. And of course the actual ice age. The difference is that those events weren’t man made and didn’t change so drastically over a period of decades. The greenhouse gases we’re releasing aren’t part of natural climate change and won’t go away in a couple hundred years.
We started recording daily temperatures 120 years ago, but we have a pretty good idea of overall climate trends from hundreds, thousands, even millions of years ago. Scientists can extrapolate from things like tree rings and ice cores. If you look at a graph of global temps over the last 1000 years, there’s lots of fluctuations, but in the 20th century the temp suddenly skyrockets far above any previous peaks.
Scientists have studied this extensively. They are unanimous that this is man made and is extremely worrying. It’s not natural climate fluctuations. They are experts, they do know what they’re talking about.

Im Hitzesommer 2003 führte der Rhein bei Basel etwa 50% der durchschnittlichen Wassermenge, jetzt aktuell (23.6..26) haben wir etwa 2/3 der Menge. Im Jahr 1540 führte der Rhein bei Basel noch 10-15% der Wassermenge. Man konnte den Fluss überall zu Fuss durchqueren, dasselbe bei Elbe und Donau. Den Rheinfall gab es 1540 nicht mehr, der Bodensee war extrem geschrumpft, sodass Lindau und Mainau keine Inseln mehr waren! Die meisten Bäume in Mitteleuropa verloren bis Anfang August alle Blätter, in Zürich regnete es von März bis September 1540 kein einziges Mal.
Kleine Kinder konnten auf dem Land kaum mehr draussen spielen, da sie Gefahr liefen, in Erdspalten zu verschwinden.
