Ahh stop complaining. We get those temperatures all the time! :D

Seriously though, I've seen heaps of footage on the news and read about it in the papers. The heatwaves sound bad, but what about the bushfires in Spain/Portugal!. Something like 30 people have died. :( And I thought the fires in Australia were bad. :(

They are bad. It just that we have such a sparse population compared to Europe, and it's part of our culture/lifestyle that bushfires happen.

Most people have some sort of preparation (in prone areas) and our emergency services are outstanding at responding.

I'm guessing that a lot of the affected Europeans aren't used to fires coming through every 3-4 years. Most unfortunately this results in greater loss of human life... :(
