The average temperature in my area is 10°C above the historical average today

I live north of Tokyo and the temperature here and in many other areas of Japan this summer was the highest ever recorded since recording began in the 1890s.
- I live near Austin, TX. We had a record for most consecutive days over 105°F that stood for nearly 100 years. 7 consecutive days over 105°F. We beat it twice this year. 11 consecutive days each time.
  
  What is TX?

Nice normal thing
- Silver lining: bed bugs start to die at 45C, so climate change will likely kill off bed bugs in Spain. Hotels can simply turn off the AC and let a room bake in the sun.
  
  Gold lining: other hotel guests start to die at only 37° C
  
  They'd just adapt eventually, which is the problem.
- it is normal for the temperature to be above the historical average, yes.
  
  It's called a heat wave and it's not normal for them to be 'normal'

Some context: This is in Catalonia (eastern Spain)
- What app is this?
  
  Looks like the default iOS weather app.
- Yeah as usual from May to October Spain is
  
  Except the Canarias maybe, they should still be in their constant oceanic weather, for now 😩
- Ooh, how's the independence movement going?

Laughs in Brazilian
I feel you.
- I've seen the same information two days ago, on a wheather app. Maybe it's happening worldwide?
  I live in Santa Catarina btw

What app is that?
- The stock iOS weather app
  
  Wait, when did they add that!? Super cool!
  For anyone else who can’t find it, it’s on the main screen, scroll down to the averages looking widget, Tap.
  
  Equivalent Android app? I want this graph!
