Apparently this was not a heat wave; summer is still a thing. Poorly sourced, non-notable event. — JFG talk 07:07, 6 July 2018 (UTC) Full AfD list of non-notable heat waves:[reply]

  • Delete. In the age of climate change, it's very likely that almost every year will always be able to claim that some part of the world set new summer heat records at some point during the northern and/or southern summers — and it's certainly true that every summer always has a stretch of days that are hot enough that even if they're not quite record heat, are still hot enough somewhere that somebody deems it a "heat wave". But it takes much more than that to turn a hot summer into a noteworthy heat wave — namely, it takes significant effects referenced to
    routine weather report stating that a heat wave was on its way but had not yet hit at the time of the source's publication, which is not enough to make a "heat wave" notable in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 18:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply
