Come now to south of Germany. We are in the middle of a 10 days heatwave at 35 degC on average.

38°C in Mannheim today. Might go above 40°C on Saturday, which never happened here before.

Good grief! That's crazy.

Speaking from a UK perspective global warming is now noticeable, hot days are hotter and there's more likely to be a heat wave, and that's changed in the last decade.

I assume Germany is the same, many years ago really is different to today.

For sure. Everywhere. Even observationally, we just all know it's hotter, or wetter, or colder - it's all way more extreme in all dimensions.

Yeah early this year I've had the coldest winter in years and now the hottest summer in years.
