The storm coming from the west was supposed to pass over us (Mannheim area) this afternoon and bring a couple of hours of rain around 4-7pm. But according to current weather maps, it looks like the clouds are dissipating *right* before they reach us. We'll *maybe* get a little bit of rain after 8pm if we're lucky, and just gotta hope the later storms in the night and the next days are still happening, I guess.
Predicted temperatures for next week have also gone up again by 2-3°C or more. Not a lot of course, and I know forecasts that far out can be inaccurate, but it's still crushing to see temps that were below a 30°C maximum every day climb beyond that again.
It's excruciating. I can't sleep, I can't eat, and the apartment just keeps heating up more and more every day despite our efforts to keep the heat out. I spent the whole afternoon yesterday at a mall packed with people even though I get overwhelmed in crowds, because escaping the heat was more important, but obviously that's not an option today. The weather shifting like this after looking forward to relief all week feels like psychological torture on top of the physical exhaustion, like there's just no end in sight. How do you cope? #local
