        You know it’s crazy. This weekend I drove through Southern Utah Arizona and Vegas in Southern California. It was 109° in Las Vegas 106 in St George Utah and 105 and Baker California. But it’s expected in those areas during the summer. Canada that’s insane to have those temperatures. It’s hard to fathom that in France. Maybe in the south of France where it’s closer to the equator. But it’s still crazy to me. Well not crazy it’s further proof of global warming. Not that anyone that can do anything cares.

          Paris is ~5deg more northern than Montréal, it’s just how the ocean currents work and stuff that makes the weather different. Kinda fucked up, eh?

            Yeah I remember reading something about that at one point a couple months ago. They’re talking about how the European settlers when they first came to the United States they looked at the latitude and longitude of it and we’re absolutely dumbfounded at the difference in temperatures.
