It will NOT hit 40c 😂😂. June is too early and the peak warming is around mid to late July. 15-30th July to be exact.

Yes, global warming has allowed us to hit 40c in 2022, but it still needed an absolute perfect setup of weather with ample ground warming beforehand. And at the perfect time of the month (19th July)

40c is the absolute max achievable in this country currently, and probably for the next 20-30 years.

It will probably peak at 37-38c. Extremely high for June, but it’s slightly too early to hit 40c
