How hot is it in the UK?Google, Oracle’s servers crashed directly – yqqlm

Beijing time on July 20 news, local time on Tuesday, the United Kingdom experienced a record-breaking high temperature, with temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Google Cloud Services and Oracle’s servers in the UK have suffered cooling-related outages, with both companies blaming high temperatures for unexpected shutdowns.

On its Google Cloud status page, Google noted that one of the company’s data centers in the United Kingdom suffered a “cooling-related failure.” “This resulted in a level of capacity failure in the region, which resulted in the termination of VMs and a small number of customers losing machine support,” Google said. The company added that it also “shut down” some machines to prevent any further damage.

Meanwhile, Oracle has provided similar information to customers on its status page, but directly listed “non-seasonal temperatures” in the UK as the cause of the outage. Earlier on Tuesday, Oracle shut down some machines to prevent system failures, but its latest update shows that services are slowly coming back online. Oracle said the temperature in the data center “has reached operational levels” but is still repairing its cooling systems.

It’s unclear how many users the two companies’ outages will affect, but the outages could cause problems for users who use Oracle and Google’s cloud services to host their websites.

It is rare for the UK to have infrastructure unable to cope with extreme heat, even in summer. In addition to crippling data centres, the heat disrupted traffic across the country, with runways at London’s Luton Airport melting and railways bending and breaking. The heat has also sparked wildfires in several parts of the UK, including London, Kent, Cornwall and Pembrokeshire. As the effects of climate change continue to ripple across the globe, scorching heatwaves could be something the UK is forced to adapt to.
