BrianW Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Europe never understood America’s love of air conditioning — until now BERLIN — A second-sizzling heat wave that’s sweeping Europe this summer is fueling a shift in attitude across the continent to the once foreign concept of air conditioning. Until now, fewer than five percent of all European households have air-conditioning, compared with 90 percent in the United States. But Europe’s air-conditioner stock is estimated to roughly double within the next two decades, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), as record heat becomes more frequent. https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/06/28/europes-record-heatwave-is-changing-stubborn-minds-about-value-air-conditioning/%3foutputType=amp Wow. Never realized the less than 5 percent have AC in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJOatleast7 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 And actually the famous Sahara "triangle of fire" (Reggane, Adrar and In Salah, Algeria) was 109F today (and the last few days), quite a bit below their normal of 117. The hot air got pulled up into Spain then France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'll bet there are lots of (older) buildings in New England without AC. My high school was one of them even though it was built in the '80s. Being just a mile or two from water, when you had a warm late August/early September day, you would just open the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Outside of the northern tier-the large swath of ac may well be well over 90%. It’s basically a necessity in all of SNE for periods during the summer and even in NNE several nights per year. With that said, we’re heading to London and Paris at the end of summer. We made sure everywhere we’re staying has ac. I was in London about 30 years ago during a heat wave-it was tough! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Meanwhile back at home... The GFSX keeps flopping between a low-grade heatwave for locales such as Fitchburg to Bradley in the interior in the middle range. But, it also had that for Thur-Saturday whence last weekend was outlooked ...and we're not there. So, trend for failure is afoot. So take fwiw it does have 90 ... 92's Sun-Tue now ... The other thing...I'm noticing that the present NW Europe heat gets pinched off and lifted in latitude to where it formulates an at first extreme easterly biased -NAO ridge node. This feature then migrates toward Greenland in the extended... establishing a more rudimentary -NAO overall circulation look.. That may be our next heat shot, ... not from the source..But, summer R-wave length arguments do allow for some form of ridge in the spacing over eastern NA/ mid latitudes... It's not something that is either very high in confidence, or presently modeled... But, should the nearer termed behavior of using the heat departures in a planetary wave dispersal sequencing over the NE - N arc of the Atlantic transpire, I would not be surprised if semblances of ridging start emerging more and more for a time over the first two weeks of August. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 To Pickles’s point-retirement is usually lovely if one is in reasonable health. But it’s a huge life event and it requires adaptation to a different reality. I’m looking forward to it-had a child past 50 so we work into our 70s.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
