Umbrellas as parasols in the audience at outdoor events. Fewer guests because of the heat. People huddling together in a single small patch of shade, farther from the stage than they'd like to be. We're like those sheep in that photo of them lined up in the thin shadow of a wind turbine.
A rain umbrella with the logo Normal. Used as a parasol for shade from 37° heat at latitude 56° 09' in June. The word Normal feels both right and ominous here.

Empty pavement tables in the afternoon. Busy tables inside. People recommending the museum’s concrete underground Skyspace dome because it’s cool in both senses. The new small talk: salads or spicy food, tea or cold drinks? (Tea. Curry. Obviously.) Wanting a bike helmet with in-built sun hat. The strong scent of flowers filling the air on streets where there were always flowers, but they gave off no scent in older, lower temperatures. The city smells like it’s abroad. #ClimateDiary #Aarhus
