Too soon?
Meanwhile, it is much cooler than normal here in the northwest and too cool for the watermelon crop in Texas....
Weather.
hot roof tiles in summer? Quick- Tax the crap out of everyone to ‘save the planet’
How hot was it?
So that shows the new “record” as 114.62 Fahrenheit replacing the old one of 111.38 F.
Ping.
In other news, Kids used to use Magnifying Glasses to burn Ants.
QUICK!!! EVERYONE STOP LIVING ON RED TILE ROOFS IN FRANCE IMMEDIATELY!!!!
IT IS ALSO ADVISED TO NOT LIVE ON A STOVETOP - ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BURNERS ARE ON!!!
“Hottest on record”
In human record keeping which is a blink of an eye when it comes to the age of the earth. Just looking it up, the hottest recorded temperature ever was in 1913 at Furnace Creek California 134 F. How is that possible when global warming is so bad now we only have 12 years left?
I am told there was a pizza-oven near Avignon whose temperature was close to 900 Deg. F
Cry me a river. It is just like the Yankees in America when they have their “heat waves.” I looked at the forecast for the rest of the week in Paris. Highs in the 80’s. Lows in the 50’s. Why don’t you come some to Texas where we have a heat wave from June to September. I do realize that there are many who don’t have air conditioning but it is only for a couple days.
I don’t think Europeans have a logical sense of what “hot” is compared to those in the SW US. Even in Mississippi and West Tennessee we have much warmer temperatures than does England and Europe. When I visited England last year I noticed that the majority of buildings didn’t have AC.
Everybody stop lolly gaggin around. You’d think it was a hunnerd and twenty degrees. Can’t be no more than a hunnerd and fourteen.
Notre Dame included?
> Hottest Rooftop On Record In France <
It could have been worse. Muslims could have set fire to the rooftop.
“Yesterday’s all-time record for French heat was taken on top of a red tile roof in the sun”
And if you painted it black it would be hotter.
I dont get what a random roof temp has to do with anything.
They should paint it White , wasn’t that an Obama guy that said that ,LOL
Meh. Some of the black-asphalt rooftops down in Dallas TX get up past 150 before they put down the gravel, especially near the center on the larger buildings. I would imagine the temps are even higher on rooftops in Phoenix.
And anyway, how extensive is the data set for temps recorded on rooftops? And just how much relevance does this have to standard air temperature? Are red tile roofs somehow benchmarks for temperature measurement? Why not asphalt parking lots, or cement sidewalks, or marble tile, or any of a hundred other surfaces?
Too soon?
Rooftop temperatures are totally irrelevant. The temperature is totally dependent on the absorptivity of the roof and the insulation effects around it. The University of Minnesota has an experimental solar absorption “rooftop” on its Minneapolis campus that regularly reaches millions of degrees.
Oh bless their hearts. I walked into the back of my shop one day and felt the heat radiating off of the metal wall. Went and got my new laser thermometer out of the box. 126.8*
Just summer time in Texas.
