Hi fellow Redditors, my name is Maarten, a climate reporter from the Dutch national newspaper Trouw (www.trouw.nl). For a new project, I'm interviewing people that experienced severe heat in the summer of 2024. I'm really curious about stories from Moldava! Please tell me about the heat in your country in the comments, or drop me a personal message if you would be open to a short phone / video interview.
Vă mulțumesc foarte mult anticipat!

it was hot.
the plastic trash bins would melt.
the asphalt would start to melt and either wheels or even shoes would leave imprints in it.
the mayor office had to set up help points around the city to offer either water or medical help to those suffering from heat stroke.
these are just some stuff off the top of my head, you are welcome to ask for any details or anything specific you wish to know.
It was the hottest and longest heatwave as I remember. In the towns it was hell. Much bearable in the country side. The concrete building and asphalt are storing the heat and are realising it slowly during 3-4 days. I feel sorry for those who live in a flat on the sunny side of the building.
