      Where I live in Sweden I have not seen quite that spread of temperatures yet. But not far off… I have seen -43C and +35C in the same area.

        Finnish here, I’ve (somewhat) likewise seen -45c and +38 in the same town. I preferred -45c, easily.

    Those could very well be some of the best places to be at if it wasn’t for the heat on the hottest days (10°C colder would be much better, obviously). It’s also important to keep in mind it’s not the same to have a single day at +40°C than a whole month at +40°C. It’s a common part of the narrative spread by negationists that we already had sudden temperature spikes recorded decades ago, conveniently ignoring the worsening sustained temperatures that have been recorded for years. Anyone with a pinch of curiosity can check the numbers.

      Maybe, but I’m of the opinion that the best places to be will be those with shade and working aquifers as those become fewer and fewer

        To be fair, some of the marked locations are near the great lakes, so if having a large water source is one of the metrics those ones at least still fit.

          Except the lakes are polluted already and going to get far worse, as is the land.

          Bald Eagles on lake michigan only average I think like 7 or 10 years, the ones inland like 15 or 20 or something, if I recall the numbers exactly but it’s a big difference and it’s because of the pollution.

      I live in Canada in one of those places. Once the area I live in was on the news because it was colder than Mars that day lol.

      Minnesotans don’t cry, we’re tougher than that, or at least have realized that if we do they either freeze or turn to steam.

      I grew up in the center of the red blob. Highest temp I remember is 112F and lowest is -52F. Those aren’t even records. Wind is brutal as well.

      The place I grew up in is one of the places marked on this map. At one point in time in the 90s we had one of the highest swings of temperature in a single day that had ever been recorded in a single place where we had nearly a 40 degree temperature difference between nighttime and daytime. It’s also one of the highest diurnal temperature places. During the winter time, it often gets well below zero. And I believe the record set in the 30s was negative 43f degrees. In the hottest temperature in the summer has been well over 100, nearly 110. And for an area in the high desert, that is normal.

        Are you talking C or F? Im pretty sure a 40 F degree temp swing happens every year in Minnesota, probably multiple times. The record in the us is 104 F in a single day, in Montana.

          Yeah, I think the record where I’m from was somewhere in the neighborhood of 65 to 70 degrees in one day. And I spent two years in Minnesota and there weren’t a lot of days where we had that were 40 degrees swing where it went from near freezing to 80s or 90s during the day while I was there at least.
