Yeah, where they will probably enjoy some time in a pool to cool off before retreating into the air-conditioned hotel and room.
It’s completely different.

@SimonOKing Is that not why Brits head to Turkey for holidays? To get 40° heat!!! I can't believe how the media create panic. People really aren't that stupid. Well, there are some! 🤨View quoted post on X
🚨⚠️ RED extreme heat warning now issued.
Models are still showing potential for 40C and that means not only will the June record (35.6C) be obliterated, but we're close to the ALL-TIME record of 40.3C set in July 2022.
Incredible 🤯

Getting flashbacks to Jul 22 when I couldn’t believe forecasts of 40C - we then saw the historic 40.3C. Can’t believe I’m seeing it again ⬇️
Regardless of actual max, this heatwave will be uncomfortable for most, unfortunately deadly for some.
I’ll have latest on @BBCBreakfast

In awe of this. Just think, the green aurora is around 200-250km high. But that looks like nothing in relation to Earth in this incredible picture…and therefore our atmosphere (~50km) just feels even more fragile/precious. 🌎
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.View quoted post on X
