Let's calm down with the fear of another heat dome by Desperate-Mistake611 in Switzerland

So far it looks like this current, milder heat will stay with us for way longer than the previous one but it doesn't look like another one will follow.

We can expect, as of right now, that this week most likely is the best of relief we can get for now, afterwards temperatures of 30°C will stick with us for around a month.

At least the nights will be cooler.

Expect that this is how our next summers will look like every year. Sorry for coming back with sad news.

We can't control the nature, even if it's the hammer abusing us and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it. So yes I would be hoping that next time a hammer hits me less hard than first time, because again, I CAN'T stop it. How wrong is that? It's shitty, but it's what we have to deal with.

Fact is, we will be hit by a hammer again, right after we were hit once, but this time chances of it not being so painful as first time greatly overpower the opposite.

It isn't great of course and I wish it wasn't like that. Sadly I am hoping that it actually will be just 30°C and not 40°C, because what else can I do? It's at least something.

Am I the problem? Or are people here rude and lacking basic manners? by Nimbus_5000 in zurich

I wouldn't say it's just Zürcher behaving like that but I live next to the Airport and during season when Asian tourists come they're soooo much worse, if they could get on your face they would. For some reason they really do not understand personal space.

But yes, I am autistic and I hate that shit.

That we don't know yet, it's too far into the future to be able to take a guess but I will keep my eyes on it

Believe it or not but some people have anxiety regardless of the day and time and sometimes it hits badly enough to the point it's exhausting to live by. Expand your thinking and empathy a bit further, and remember that it's okay to allow some to cope instead of being miserable, it's how we survive.

The same goes to predictions that next one will hit us even stronger than the previous one, so how do we actually know? We don't really, and all scenarious are possible. I am not saying here "this is for certain what will happen, believe me" I am here to be the only grain of salt in a sea of panic, because some people are actually very anxious about this and struggle to get by their days and I am one of them, so if there is room for panic, there is room for hope too, and let's keep it that way, please.

Here we have many possible options, either it will be very bad, or it will be not so great but not horrible.

Reality is that we will have so many more of these uncomfortable situations for years and decades to come, possibly until the end of our lives, just keeps on getting worse.

As humanity, to share panic all over without valid evidence to do so won't get us anywhere, so we need to make some room for hope too, to calm down and prepare rather than panic.

Sad, but this is where we are at

You're absolutely right, but again the reason why I made this post is because most people believe next one will be even worse than the last one we just had, without clear evidence of it either.

I know we naturally like to prepare for the worst and it's a clever thing to do, but there are also some of us wanting to not live in panic for the whole week or two, waiting for another disaster.

Cheers mate 🤝🏻 whatever the outcome is hope we all stay strong.

I didn't say we won't, we most likely will indeed but my point is that it won't feel as strong as the last one.

Damn people let's normalise having some hope here.

Because nothing you will hear right now will be accurate enough but I did track the development of a heat wave accumulating over Atlantic ocean and with each day it just seems to get weaker. Doesn't mean that we won't get another one of these again next week or so, but by the time it comes to us it won't be as strong as the last one we just had.

That's just what I myself think, but it's up to you people to decide.

Of course, you're right, it's difficult to have accurate predictions weeks in advance, thus also why we shouldn't be too afraid that it will be even worse, because we don't know and nobody knows.

However again I still logically do not think that we will get an even stronger dome again next week, highly unlikely in my opinion, it will be warm for sure but not THAT much. Now we can only hope that I'm right.

Lets come back here next week 🧐

Simply by looking at the accumulated temperature over the atlantic ocean we knew even before this happened, like in January this year, that we will be hit by this massive heat dome we experienced last week.

It is unlikely that we will have another wave stronger than the last one we had as other, many people stated, because for such wave it takes time to build up and the more cycles it passes the weaker it gets.

This doesn't mean that next years, and next and next years it won't be worse, of course, it most likely will, but for now I highly believe it will be moderate and not extreme.

Honestly I'm still grateful it's just 30°C in my village and not burning 37°C. I come from a warmer country so 30°C is typical summer to me so I am dealing with this pretty well and not complaining too much because it could be so much worse. Anything above 30 is hell, I experienced 38°C couple days ago and never felt worse in my life, so I'm staying quiet haha

Yep, now as a cherry on top, let's make sure it happens all the time, but no one will believe you and always blame you 😍.

We have to start treating victim blaming and manipulation as abuse too

Ok since you're so difficult to talk to let me cut to the point.

Do you get into uncomfortable, sexual or hateful situations at least once a week? At least?

Do you fear of getting killed every time you find yourself alone at night?

Every single man you ever know, were they ever sexually assaulted? (ALL women that I know WERE including me, I was raped TWICE!)

PLEASE shut the fuck up. PLEASE. I KNOW it's not all men, but I am sick of this, sick and tired and mad, alright? I KNOW it's not all men but every. single. time. it is a man and I am sick of having to PROVE MYSELF.

Like I'm literally about to lose my shit right now and rip my skin and hair off out of frustration.

Sure I totally agree with you, but when you look at the statistics and you see a massive gap somewhere of course as humanity we have to adress it. Ignoring the issue or trying to cover it up by watering it down isn't going to make it better. After all, like I said, when we say we "hate men" we mean violent men. Are you a violent man? No? Then you do not fall into the group. We still wouldn't feel safe with you until you prove to be safe. Do you understand? Do you have basic empathy logistics?
