ESA: Europe braces for sweltering July
esa.int
An anticyclone – a high-pressure area – named Cerberus (named after the monster from Dante’s Inferno) coming from the south will cause temperatures to rise above 40°C across much of Italy. This comes after a spring and early summer full of storms and floods.
The highest temperature in European history was broken on 11 August 2021, when a temperature of 48.8°C was recorded in Floridia, an Italian town in the Sicilian province of Syracuse. That record may be broken again in the coming days.

Pedialyte is a brand of oral rehydration salts. Pharmacies usually sell ORS to treat dehydration.
Hey, thanks for expounding on Pedialite! Didn’t know there was a specific name for it. Im going to tuck that nugget of information away to forget about it the next time I recommend it.
My pleasure. I don't know how you regularly cope with 40C+, I get upset if it gets to 30C (or below 10).
At this point, 30c is sweater weather for me.
Fucking hell...! Where abouts are you? Bloody Dubai...? I burst into flames at anything above 28c, I am ginger and of Irish extraction mind, I'm built for fierce mild and drizzle.
Ha ha you sound almost offended by @Enigma 's weather!
Nah, not offended, but I can feel my skin crackling like a Pork Roast at the thought of 30c being jumper weather...shudder! Shite, I need a pint to calm down and cool off...
At this point, 30c is sweater weather for me.
Oh wow I can't even imagine your life.
Though as cheaper preventative would be just electrolyte sports drink. Meant for same thing just for sports caused sweating. However sweating is sweating.
Main thing is one can buy electrolyte sports drink by big drink mix powder jar, instead of expensive single pack.
One just has to be carefull to buy the actual rehydration drink mix instead of the normal sports drink. The normal sports drink isn't as optimal as thirst killer, since container alottaa of calories. It does also usually contain rehydration sales, but as said heck of energy bomb to be drink by bottle full outside of hard exercising. Where is pure rehydration drink has just set of salts and then maybe some flavoring and food color (because obviously sports drink is supposed to be acid green)
Ofcourse most likely not exactingly proportioned and controlled as actual ORS from pharmacy, since ORS would be done to medicine production standards.
