• Air temperature is just part of the story. The heat is a bigger problem when humidity is high and that’s what happens in barcelona. A few years ago I was there with 33ºC and 85% humidity and almost die waiting for the train while back home with over 36º it was manageable because it was drier. The solutions shown here are great but don’t really help with the humidity issue

• Every year summers are hotter and heat waves more frequent, with cities suffering most. A network of climate shelters in Barcelona isn’t only making people more comfortable, it’s also saving lives.
