i hate when i have to learn a new verb in French (« pulvériser ») if it relates to these terrifying #heatwaves 😳

@jackmmorris.bsky.social btw M. Jobard is citing data from Parc Montsouris, same location as my story in @neitherfishnorfoul.com!
🌡️Sur les 50 derniers jours la moyenne des températures maximales à #Paris Montsouris a atteint 32.2 °C du 15 juin au 3 août 2026

Cela pulvérise le précédent record (fiable) en la matière :
29.7 °C du 25 juin au 13 août 2018. #sécheresse #canicule

32.2 °C ~ normale de juillet de l'intérieur du Var
🌡️La moyenne des températures maximales sur 30 jours à #Paris Montsouris a atteint 34.0 °C du 17 juin au 16 juillet. Cela écrase tous les précédents d'une marge à peine croyable pour une moyenne sur 30 jours :
2026 : 34.0 °C

2003 : 30.7 °C
2006 : 30.6 °C
2018 : 30.4 °C
1976 : 30.3 °C
2022 : 30.0 °C

‘Let the woman tell her truth,’ said the man as Matthieu.

’I will,’ said the woman as Sylvie. Her fingers tightened on Sylvie's wrist as she demanded, ‘Ask him who spoke to the snake last.’

Time stretched away from the planet. It wibbled and then plopped over sideways towards Venus. Invisible workers on the periphery pushed and pulled it back into place and dusted it off. Good as new.

… my hair grows out pink, a candy floss I will pile high and sticky on my head, a Kate Pierson, B-52s beehive. My husband will be delighted, tasting my marzipan skin when we kiss, reaping the benefits of my persistent buzz.

‘That’s where we’ll live when we marry.’ She smiled but couldn’t see what he was pointing at. On the way back down she crushed her hands together. ‘Chilly,’ she said.
