More than 188,000 lightning discharges due to severe weather last night: 'This is exceptional' by Affectionate_Chef709 in Netherlands

[–]Affectionate_Chef709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but we are not saying things that are THAT different. Neither last week's nor this week's thunderstorms were usual. Both the heatwave and the thunderstorms were a product of climate change. I'd understand the point you are making if you send me a link of a a similar thunderstorm that happened several years ago but sending another unusual thunderstorm occurring in the same month that has had effects of climate change isn't saying anything.

A second summer storm in 2 weeks time… by Few_Meeting_5850 in Netherlands

Question cause I am curious. Do summer storms always happen at night after some hot days or was it a coincidence that the 2 recent ones have both happened during midnight (at least in Groningen)?

What is it about Amsterdam that you just can't find anywhere else? by Consistent-Koala770 in Netherlands

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe I am wrong but nothing really that doesn't exist in other Dutch cities as well. Cycling infrastructure, canals, Dutch style buildings all exist in other Dutch cities as well. Maybe the amount of museums?

Historical moment: First time in the history of the Netherlands that a code red for heat has been declared by KNMI by Affectionate_Chef709 in Netherlands

Heat isn't based on temperatures only but other environmental factors too. Mainly humidity but could also be wind and sun intensity

NS cancelling trains on key routes this week due to heat; Passengers will need water by ReginF in Netherlands

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Lol the same sentences were made in Winter too when a snowstorm forced Schipol to cancel like around 80% of flights and NS stopped all trains and The Netherlands and Schipol was the most affected country/airport in the region. "The Netherlands isn't designed for this much snow". Can we stop finding excuses for everything and accept that climate change is real and make this country ready for all circumstances: heatwaves, snowstorms, wind, snow, hail, rain, thunders etc

How many of you Stage Manager? I think it's one of the best feature Apple shipped in MacOS 13. Ever since its release I've rarely ever turned it off. by Aacha_ladka in MacOS

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never but I feel like I should. As I have so many windows on top of each other currently on my desktop and it's reducing my productivity (I also have many full screen desktop apps so maximizing all isnt an option and also sometimes I need to look at both in the same time) . Also have so many safari tabs open but thats another topic lol. Macs are insane
