This page's grammar is horrible and nonsensical. I would fix it myself but I have no idea what its trying to convey. 63.239.65.11 ( talk) 16:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, all, I recently made a series of copyedits to this page [1], which have been reverted as "restoring sourced info". Now, they were copyedits for the most part, meaning that there's little sourced info to restore, because I barely removed any. The only thing I did remove was a comment from the former PEPA director about the efffects of global climate change; since the comment was directed at changes to the entire globe, it was out of scope for this article. Everything else was simply reworded, not removed. As such, absent any actual disagreement with the copyedits, and mindful of the rules about edit-warring, I'm going to restore my edits, since this looks more like an honest mistake than anything else. I'd welcome disagreement here. 73.133.12.111 ( talk) 16:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Considering that this is a current event, while the environment banner at the top may be okay, wouldn't this warrant a {{
WikiProject Meteorology}}
banner (even though most of the editors of this page aren't really weather editors) because it is within its scope?

Am I missing something, or are these solar power plants in San Bernadino, California and Andalusia, Spain completely out of place? - Laikalynx ( talk) 17:32, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I would think as long as people have a water supply and they can splash that water on themselves and have it evaporate to cool them, that would prevent large numbers of deaths. So:
1) Do they not all have access to water ? Lack of electricity was listed as a problem, and in areas where electrical pumps are required to supply water, that could also mean a lack of water. (I suppose if they have to walk a mile in this heat to get water, that would qualify as not having water.)
2) Was the humidity too high to allow for evaporation ?
I assume 1 is more of an issue than 2, as dehydration was listed as a cause of death, but we really should add some info on this to the article. StuRat ( talk) 17:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
