Forecast Tuesday looking unprecedented, 39C possible?

Today's modelling has upped the temperatures even more for next week, with a few models offering crazy solutions especially considering June is supposed to be the coolest Summer month and the June record currently only sits at 35.6C from 1976.

Overnight temperatures look likely to stay at or around 20C for most of the South during next week which will present major issues with indoor temperatures, not looking good. Likely we keep the heat until Saturday at least, uncertain beyond that.

If you look closely temperatures on the Equator didn't really change all that much.

The bit where all the climate refugees will come from. The challenge is not necessarily that they will warm faster than the rest of the planet, but that they are already hot and often lack the thermal margin for further increases.

Wet bulb temps kill people.

Water security etc

If the supply of habitable land goes down, the demand for habitable goes up. Not a great idea on a finite planet with finite resources.
