Norway reached -32 last year: https://www.thelocal.no/201802...

If we look at somewhere like Troms we see that the AVERAGE minimum temperature is -8 in January: https://weather-and-climate.co...

In fact Oslo, in the south, is due to hit -7 on Wednesday, and it's April: https://www.worldweatheronline...

Check out Bjorn Nyland's videos on YouTube, he regularly travels through mountain regions in a variety of EVs.

Gotta say though I love your ability to look at satellite imagery of your country lit up like a christmas tree and claim nobody is using power

Yeah 6 months without rain in one of the wettest countries on earth

Look at the seasonal variation of temperatures in Bahgdad.

A shift of a few degrees C is nothing compared to normal seasonal variation, even adjusting the topmost temperatures doesn't mean that much difference in reality.

Yeah, just like a degree over or below 0C doesn't matter to water. Oh wait, it does.

Of course that's only kinda relevant if the temperature increases uniformly which it doesn't

In the Middle East and North Africa, the average temperature in winter will rise by around 2.5 degrees Celsius (left) by the middle of the century, and in summer by around five degrees Celsius (right) if global greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase according to the business-as-usual scenario (RCP8,5).

That's ~9F, would you consider that change in your summertime average to be inconsequential? The average high in Baghdad in July is 44C, if the projection is right it will become 49C, I suspect there's a few places you start to consider uninhabitable at that point.

If you tell them 100 is the hottest summer day and 0 is the coldest winter one, they'll have a pretty good idea that halfway between, 50, is roughly the average temperature during spring and fall.

I think you would find that given this description most people in the UK would have a totally wrong impression of the scale.
