The most intense recorded heat wave

Scientists found the most intense heat wave ever recorded — in Antarctica
In March 2022, temperatures near the eastern coast of Antarctica spiked 70 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) above normal — making it the most intense recorded heat wave to occur anywhere on Earth, according to a recent study. At the time, researchers on-site were wearing shorts and some even removed their shirts to bask in the (relative) warmth. Scientists elsewhere said such a high in that region of the world was unthinkable.
“It was just very apparent that it was a remarkable event,” said Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth, author of the study. “We found that temperature anomaly, the 39-degree temperature anomaly, that’s the largest anywhere ever measured anywhere in the world.”

I cannot confirm the data on Antartica but here where I live, Adriatic sea, 31st of October we had 27°C with a climate similar to North Africa. The heat this year was even more than last year, when it felt like the hottest fall in my life.

In a way I'm liking this global warming, it is making me save money on heating. But maybe I'm going to loose money next summer, cranking the aircon all the way up?
