Europe is in the grip of a record-breaking heatwave. To help stay cool, people in France have been turning to an unusual solution – chalk. Here's the science behind the trend.
As someone who has seen hot climes before, I feel like a bunch of us should go to Europe and, y’know. Explain.
Absolutely. I’m from a cold place in the US, but we still at least got PSAs for a variety of climates. I’ve met several Germans who had a vacation companion melt their flip flops on hot sand, which sounds silly, but it’s not something they ever had to think about.
On the other hand, I’ve learned a lot about dealing with the cold here, because it’s not silliness, just climate specialization.

A whole bunch of them got a lesson in applied meteorology on a visit to the New World this spring.
Congrats, top belligerent comment of the week.
I’m just saying, tips ‘n tricks can be handy. Like how to cool a hot car fast.
But you’re not allowed to see it.
The French make sunglasses look good.
I’ll never be as cool as this guy.
For sure
Nah if you don’t hate poor people you are, in fact, cooler than this guy
