In the UK, Oracle and Google servers are suffering due to abnormal heat.

July 21, 2022

Data centers can't handle the record 40.3°C heatwave. Some Oracle equipment had to be shut down due to "off-season temperatures" and because some of the cooling infrastructure failed. Google Cloud also said that a number of its products are "experiencing increased levels of errors, delays or unavailability of services" due to the heat. Representatives of the company noted that they are making every effort to turn the cooling back on.
