minus-squareTujio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27arrow-down1·2 days agoI was at a festival in Austria a few years ago when it was about this hot. Like, you stepped on the asphalt and left a footprint hot. The only thing to drink was beer. If you needed something refreshing you had to drink radler (beer+lemonade, 3%). I saw 3 people leave in an ambulance. Tons of sunstroke and dehydration. It was a fucking problem.
