This is actually terrifying. The whole of the #EU with the exception of Sweden and Denmark is in #heatwave. That means that #harvest is going to fail across much of Europe, and that means food prices are going to rise steeply.

"The Reuters Climate Monitor shows where temperatures are unusually hot or cold in real time by comparing today’s conditions with what was typical in the past." i.e., it's a map of global temperatures above global norms - in real time.Ben Werdmuller (Werd Social)
