My cat was actually outside when I kept calling her she just ignored me and carried on enjoying the 38°C with no breeze and utter humidity. She loved it. (she drank loads of water with ice cubes in it, which makes it have a "normal" temperature don't worry she was hydrated)

In the U.S., most places with very hot summer temps, i.e., Southern California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, etc., all have air conditioning. Europe, for the most part, doesn't as they haven't really needed to. So there's no respite - no places to turn to in order to escape the heat and humidity. People need to remember that before labeling them all as 'wimps'. If your AC went out in 108 temps, you would be screaming to high heaven, too.

Also even without AC I live in Cali and can just tolerate the heat because I'm adapted to the climate. It's really unfair to call people wimps when they haven't had a chance to adapt too.

I don’t use central air conditioning and I am in one of the most hot and humid areas of the United States. I think you oversimplify the issue. Those Europeans just aren’t used to this. They don’t have the experience or even the genetics to be prepared, on top of having no AC. I’m Iranian American, a 96 degree day is tolerable for me with or without AC, as long as I can put my hair up and run a fan. I don’t blame the Europeans for being hot, especially not Londoners. They should anticipate this will happen again every summer though, and buy some window ACs and ceiling fans. That’s all I use and I’m fine.

For everyone who lives in a country with a really warm climate and is used to even higher temperatures, I just want to say this: in many parts of Europe we are not used to very high temperatures and our buildings, etc. are therefore not equipped to cope with this. So if you think it's silly to whine above 98.4 degrees (36.9 ° C); come here and see for yourself how it feels.

4points

RoseTheMad 5 years ago

People need to stop complaining that "Oh, just deal with it, here in (for example) Cali, it's so much hotter!" 1. Over there, AirCon is a very normal thing in your houses, here in the UK and Europe, unless you're stinking rich, it's highly unlikely you'll have an aircon unit, and have to make do with a fan blowing warm air around, maybe you can get a bit of respite putting ice in front of it, but it won't last long. 2. Over in (again, example) California, you're used to the heat, you've always had hot summers. Where I am, up in the Norht of the UK, it hit up to 34 degrees (when I say degrees, I mean celsius), and that was on the coast. Inland was even hotter. I'm 23 years old and I've NEVER known it be above 30 before, hell, I don't ever remember it being as high as 30. We're simply not used to high heat, 25 degrees used to be considered very hot weather for us.

Don't forget that the usage of cars is not as prevalent, either. You normally are on your feet more, walk, cycle or take the public transportation (which also doesn't have AC) to work, transport your groceries by bike/foot and so on. It is different when you can just go from your AC home into your AC car to drive to your AC work.

3points

RoseTheMad 5 years ago

and 3, since it wouldn't fit: places like CA are genuinely a different type of heat to the UK. Over in CA, you're a dry state. The UK however, is a wet area, we get a hell of a lot of humidity (currently hitting 90% and over humidity) meaning it's way hotter, and the air feels hot and sticky, you're constantly sweating and because we're a country that's new to having weather like this, we're not equipped for it whatsoever. So, with all due respect, come over here and spend a week in our heatwave, spend some time on a bus or train, or just sit around in a house with none of your precious AC. See how you feel, we look forward to having you visit!

3points

Mewton’s Third Paw 5 years ago

It’s not hot in most of California compared to other states in the union. California is on our west coast and the weather is all around more mild there. The east coast and south are where you find brutal heat. A Californian would pass out in the sun and heat and humidity of Florida. From Washington DC down to Florida over to Texas, it’s humid AS F**K. I’m 10 years older than you and there have been very similar heat waves in UK before. 1995 was a particularly hot one, you were probably alive but just a baby. It’s been happening every few years since you were born.

WARNING SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE: if you have any of these conditions, you are in big trouble. Do not ignore these warnings. How to know you have heat exhaustion are about to have a heat stroke: 1)You look down on your arms & see blue, dry skin (you have sweated out), 2)OR, You are dizzy, hot, you are soaked in sweat, disoriented, & exhausted, 3)OR, You look straight out, & it looks like the walls are closing in, 4)OR, You look out & see blue bubbles (small & large) floating in your field of view, 5)OR, You start to cramp in your extremities (arms & legs) Your body is shutting down to these parts to protect vital organs. This will be painful. 6)OR, Your urine is dark golden color or even almost brown, a sure sign of dehydration...

4)Check your blood pressure if you have a home monitor. High blood pressure can cause stroke. If you can’t get it down on your own, go to the emergency room. 5)Check your temperature. Adults will pass out if their core temperature goes over 106 degF (41.1 degC). Adults will die if their core temperature goes over 108 degF (42.2 degC). If you can’t get your temperature down, go to the emergency room. 6)REHYDRATE: Slowly drink a quart (or liter) of COLD water. Your body’s reaction will be to throw it up if you are completely dehydrated. Drink as much as you can. You will not be able to urinate if completely dehydrated. Once again, no caffeinated beverages. 7)If you can't keep the cold drink down, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY!!! No kidding! Do not underestimate the seriousness of the problem or over-estimate your ability to deal with it on your own.

3points

jknbt jknbt 5 years ago

8)CALL FOR HELP. Do not face this alone. If you are very dizzy or disoriented, do not drive yourself to the emergency room. Get someone to take you, or call for an ambulance. If you are in extreme trouble, you may pass out driving to the hospital. 9)GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM if these symptoms continue without responding well to anything you do. Do not play with this, or try to “tough it out”. This is all very serious. A heat stroke can easily turn into a real stroke. You can spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair or using a walker if you don’t deal with this correctly. If you go down outside and nobody helps, you can die. SO BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!! (a little unsolicited advice from a Texan who has had severe heat exhaustion many times. It is not fun. Avoid it if you can.)

If you have any or all of these symptoms, 1)Run to the shower or garden hose, drench yourself with cold water, start stripping all layers of clothes, stand or sit wet and stripped in front of an oscillating fan 2)OR, Fill the bathtub with cold water from the tap & ice from the refrigerator. Get in & start rehydrating. Use a fan to blow air on you if you can do this safely. 3)Drink water. Do not drink caffeinated drinks since they make this worse. Most sports drinks with electrolytes also have caffeine in them. The caffeine will raise your blood pressure & risk of stroke.

Caffeine is a diuretic; it pulls water out of you. Drink 3 glasses of water for every cup of caffeine to 1. replace what is pulled out 2. for the water you should have drunk instead of the caffeine 3. another glass to rehydrate yourself.

I used to live in japan for 8 years wear temperatures often reached high thirties and the humidity pushed it well above the forties. Worse is that we still had to work. At the school I worked in we would open the windows and put the fan on and pray for a cool breeze. In England...wow...as soon as it reached the mid twenties people were complaining of how hot it was. People could understand how I was still able to wear a thins jumper. Granted, when it reached above 30 it was hot BUT not too hot. It was manageable. Sadly, from what I saw, most British people just didn't know how to deal with the heat and they would go out in the sun trying to tan and complain they got really hot etc rather than sticking to the shade. They'd still go on jogs, take their dogs out, and other crazy stuff.

Because over there you likely have aircon and much dryer heat as opposed to the extreme humidity of the UK (nearing 90% in my area, to put that in perspective, above 55-60% is considered high humidity) and parts of europe that are also not equipped with aircon. Plus, it used to be very irregular that it would get this hot in the UK. 25c used to be what was considered hot. I've been to hot and dryer countries, and the heat hasn't bothered me near as much as the constant sweat you feel when it's so damn humid and the air just feels like you could chop it with an axe. Dry heat is much more tolerable than humid heat.

In london it rarely gets above 79f and when it does it is a lot more humid than Utah. My friend from India (104f standard) says he has a much harder time coping with a heat wave in the UK than a summer in India.

Azkhaleesi, Ah bless your heart. Would you like a giant golden star to plaster on your forehead for surviving the heat. Many people in Europe are not used to this intense heat. Many of use live in cooler climates so this heat is a nightmare and extremely dangerous for many people. The majority of homes where I live don’t have central air. Our trams and trains are rarely air conditioned. Sooo, I would really love for you to spend several hours in a crowded London train with no air, surrounded by hoards of hot and sweaty people and dare to call “this cute” again. Oh boy, heat stroke is so much fun said no one ever. - This has been a public service announcement from your “cute” friends in the UK

Also even without AC I live in Cali and can just tolerate the heat because I'm adapted to the climate. It's really unfair to call people wimps when they haven't had a chance to adapt too.

I'm in Texas and I just installed a 70", yes 70" 8 blade fan in my room. I love it and keep it on high. It's so strong that it feels like a 10 - 15 mph (25kph) wind.

People in the UK can always just stand inside the doorway of Marks & Spencer for instant relief (if you can still find one)

I just find it entertaining since the rest of the world makes fun of the US air conditioner habit. This is just a taste of why that is.

Florida was considered uninhabitable until air conditioning was invented here. The first units are now in museums of course.

Plus air conditioning is an f-ing nightmare for the planet and shouldn't be encouraged.

Additionally, it's not only about the temperature itself, it's also about humidity. Summers by the Adriatic Sea vs. summers in and around Seoul. *sigh*

I'm a lucky girl this year! Portugal coast is not too hot this year. I'm celebrating in here, Lisbon. I always suffer a lot. No matter if we're used to it. We are not.

That's nothing, "Insert other place name" is much hotter, it gets up to "Insert hotter temperature". Saved all the boring people time and effort.

42C in Belgium yesterday, with high humidity so you're sweating enormously, and AC is a luxury for the rich and rarely to be found in standard homes... (or even stores for that matter)

Do you get good service from Amazon there in Belgium? If so you can order a window unit air conditioner or an air conditioning tower for like $100USD. But it probably takes a while to get there.

Why is it a luxury to have ac?

In Norway it is released warning of flooding for communities around the glacier in Jostedal. It's getting bit too warm.

Yikes! That is terrifying. And sadly, there are still going to be those people who deny that climate change is real.

May I ask why AC is only for the rich there? Is the electricity very expensive? Or the units are over priced there?

Because if a woman did it she would be arrested, even though men also have nipples. So men are flaunting thier privilege. Sexist double standard.
