Feeling hot, hot, hot? Tell us your experiences of heat in your city

Temperatures across the globe have broken records – and rising temperatures have serious implications for cities. What’s happening where you live?

Whether summer in your city is present or past, there is a good chance you weathered record-breaking temperatures this year.

It will be routine,” warned a Guardian editorial.
