We thought it would be a nice idea to not just post news, but also help share some human element directly with discussion topics every week or so.

So, first topic of the week: How are you handling the weather? The northern hemisphere is being scorched, many places being over 40 °C for weeks, or even over 50. (50 °C = 122 °F.)

Humans have survived some ice ages and cold periods, but we aren't well biologically equipped to handle heat for long periods.

It’s been very warm, but for us it has been a weird year. Hardly any rain in the spring along with unseasonably warm weather and now we are getting the rain we would have gotten in the spring. Fortunately here, it cools down at night.
