A significant number of places have reported over 100; with quite a few “All-time” records. I’ve heard speculation that it will be worse than 2003, when 15000 died from the heat in France alone.
Considering that many places in Europe start struggling with heat at temps that we in the US shrug off*, temps in upper 90s or above are seriously bad.
(I was listening to a podcast from the UK chatting about how hot it was; it was the same temp as here, where I was taking a walk because it was finally cool enough to go out).
Personally, I’m dreading next week. We replaced our dead van, which means we’re catching up on clean-outs. 6 in the upcoming week (most small), with the big one being on a day now forecast to hit 100. It’s gonna be a long day, with lots of ice water.
Plus I’m thinking that July 4 will be spent at home in the A/C watching everything on TV; a shame, I would like to go see the tall ships sail up the Hudson, but not in 95° weather.
