Accurate?
Had 3 major rain events cover the county that I live in over the last two days. They all missed. Yesterday two thunderstorms passed within a half mile of me to the north and south. At least it was cooler than room temperature this morning. For the first time since May.
Heat wave is upon us. It's almost as warm here as it is somewhere in the middle of a winter night around jwhouk 
It's now about 32° (90°F) at 11 AM, highs expected around 36° (~97-98°F). Tomorrow we're going for 40°C (104°F). "Wind chill" or however the opposite is called in English adds about 2-3°C right now around here.
Lovely time to spend 8 hours on end directly under the roof.

I only heard about blue green algae blooms a few years ago, when it hit I think Fredericton. But I swear I hear about it more and more as each year passes. And it's scary to me. But also because I wish there was some kind of solution to prevent it, but I guess none exist.

Blue green algae a growing problem in HRM
Staff at HRM's 18 supervised beaches are constantly on the lookout for the cyanobacteria that can be harmful for humans and deadly for pets

Thermometer on the terrace, in the *shade* is now up to 112°F (44.5°C). Spontaneous combustion of your favorite Belgian owl is imminent.Heat wave is upon us. It's almost as warm here as it is somewhere in the middle of a winter night around jwhouk

We have 34°C (93°F) here right now.
I know that we have places in the US that see these same temperatures during the summer, but most of the people living there are properly prepared for it. Almost all homes in Nevada and Arizona have AC, for example. I don’t know how these parts of Europe are going to handle getting roasted like this, especially if it becomes the norm.
This time it's just one day - tomorrow it's 10°C less, days after that some thunderstorms. But yeah, our houses are built to keep heat IN, not OUT, generally speaking, and airco is around but definitely not everywhere. Some of our roads are melting - the asphalt is mixed to withstand frost and cold stresses, not high temperatures.
But hey, climate change is just alarmism. Nothing to worry about.

"It's not too hot, is it?"

Looks like he's just a troll:
First time that it has rained enough while I was out an about to bother putting on a raincoat in 6 months...
I don’t even own a raincoat, or what most would call a winter coat.
Well, you are married...
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck rich people and fuck golf courses. That they were except from water restrictions is bullshit.

Am I the only deeply concerned about this? Like, that there will be massive hurricanes in the future make up for it?
I am less concerned about the Gulf of Mexico blowing up. We had regular rain over the last two weeks coming off the Gulf. There is even flooding in Dallas and Mississippi over that time. Hopefully that cools it down a bit.
At this point I'm kinda expecting Poseidon to pull up to the Mississippi Delta in a chariot and let loose a huge tirade before reclaiming Louisiana as part of the Gulf.
