Floriana Peroni’s vintage clothing store had to close for a week during Europe’s heat wave last month. A truck of rented generators blocked her door as they fed power to the central Roman neighborhood hit by a blackout as temperatures surged. The main culprit was air conditioning. Peroni does not have AC either in her home or in her shop. She is like many Romans. The Italian capital once could count on a Mediterranean breeze to bring down nighttime temperatures. But that has become an intermittent relief at best. Peroni says Europeans tend to tolerate the heat and shun air conditioning. But that is starting to change.
