    In my area, where it hit around 32°c-34°c midday, if you expose to the sun for as short as 10 second, you will feel the burn, expose for more than a minute and you can literally feel the pain. I can’t imagine 46°c, that isn’t something liveable.

        I mean if you born and live in Phoenix Arizona this is nothing, but for us where the temperature is usually 31°c and humidity is 75%, having days where it’s 33 or 34 is pretty torturing, especially when you work outdoor.

      I’m from Edmonton, Canada…where the opposite is true in the winter. It can be -34C for weeks on end, and any exposed skin can freeze in under a minute. I’ve felt -46c and it’s not livable either, haha.

        It’s a lot easier to make yourself warmer, especially with modern technologies, than it is to make yourself cooler.

        Parts of the Earth are nearing (or passing at times) the temperature at which air conditioning stops working.

        Heat make sure you can’t cool down effectively, making the sunlight feel stronger. We have colder day here when La Nina hit, and the sunlight isn’t as painful as now.

        Climate change hasn’t changed uv strength. Humans have impact on it but it’s gone down again since the hole in the ozone layer is mostly gone now.
