No matter where you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you’ve probably experienced some extremely hot weather this summer already. Europe saw unusually high temperatures exceeding 104°F (40°C), and a late-June heatwave in the central and eastern parts of the U.S. brought record temperatures as well.
Extremely hot weather brings many problems and worries, but it can also cause some hilarious mishaps or inspire people to get creative. We collected the most interesting predicaments people found themselves in during this year’s heatwaves and present them to you here.
Sources predict that the U.S., the UK, and Western Europe might be experiencing more heatwaves this summer, so, maybe you’ll get some inspiration for a sun-cooked steak or a DIY air conditioner as you scroll?

#24 Power Went Out For 18 Hours During A 106 Degree Heatwave… 3 Days After A $400 Fridge Restock
Pictured is only 1 of 3 bags that must be thrown out. We added ice to the fridge but things were still warm to the touch. With food prices the way they are, I’m devastated. I’ve cried for 2 hours straight. I don’t know how y’all do it after a natural disaster like a hurricane or tornado.

#28 My Solution To The Heatwave
Lemme just start by saying I love my Ryobi fans, lights, and “lifestyle” tools. Anyway, my work van has no AC, as in it was never optioned when they bought it 30 years ago. Every summer, I sweat my back off in my convection oven, I mean, work van. I present you all with my solution! The cooler fan! I’m sure this has been done, but this one is mine. Getting hot? Turn the mister on for a minute and bask in the icy delight. Thirsty? Just flip the lid and grab a drink! I freeze my water bottles, so no need to buy ice. Once in the cooler with a bit of water adde,d they stay cold the whole day. I love this little fan.

I really want to change that filter but it’s frozen in place. Hoping that turning it off will defrost this thing and I won’t be competing for a service call in the middle of a heatwave.
