Last week the country suffered through high temps of almost 40 C following massive floods from extremely heavy rain which killed hundreds. The extreme heat is even higher this weel 41C (106 F). Climate Change will be bringing extremes in weather. I am so relieved the tRump admin thinks it is a hoax (yeah, more coal!).

"This heat is a threat to life,” the Japanese Meteorological Agency warned. “We recognize it as a natural disaster.”
No specific analysis has been done to determine how climate change has affected this heat wave. But what we’re witnessing in Japan right now—the deaths, calls for ambulances, Japan’s famously on-time trains reportedly running slow because people are suffering from heatstroke—is exactly what climate change looks like. And if we don’t start to curb carbon emissions soon, it’s going to look a lot worse, and the poorest among us will suffer the most.
The all-time heat record in Japan is an outlier for the country, but it’s hardly alone this year. We’ve seen freakish heat waves in Greenland, Pakistan, the UK, Scandinavia, and North Africa. Something just isn’t right.

1. Ive been in Japan the last couple weeks. Ridiculously hot!!

So sticky, blazing, and uncomfortable. I brought running clothes and only went twice very early in the morning when it was still really too hot and I came back drenched completely in sweat.
