I don't know what purple means and I'm too afraid to ask

We are normalish around here. Had a normalish summer all summer. Rain is supposed to arrive late this week, which would be fantastic and very welcome (unless it is a problem for any harvest, but I think the wine harvest is mostly done)

I live in the French Basque Country, which is supposed to have some of the wettest and coolest Summers in France (along with Brittany) but it hasn't rained all Summer and the map says our max temp was 37.8 on Monday (it was 35°C so I can believe that 37.8 was reached somewhere at some point), which would make it the hottest place in Europe that day - with 40-50% humidity.

I can't believe it's been hotter here than in all of Spain and most of Algeria and Morocco except from the Sahara.

Everything is dry, half of our local forest has burned down this Summer thanks to an arsonist that took advantage of the poor weather conditions (heat and wind).

Everyone said this region would have better odds in the face of climate change because it was still 24°C here during the previous French heatwaves, but look at us now. No one is safe from the effects from climate change. I hope that we at least get some rain in the coming weeks.
