Whose decision was it to make "6" and "18" such similar colors
Whoever had to extend the scale in a hurry because the numbers were literally unthinkable when it was made. This year people who can have lunch in death valley national park are getting cooler temperatures than London.
Those people near death valley are living in (mostly shitty) homes built for extreme heat, with central air thick insulation and light colored exteriors, double pane windows, entry vestibules in the nicer ones, all the things nobody in england has seen outside american TV.
