In some countries it's a must, in others it isnt. I'm not installing AC to turn it on only in August. What's the point.
People who live in the north or far from the sea see it differently.

All big and most small shops (Żabka) have it in Poland, same for offices, schools etc.
I also see more and more people installing AC, even in the block I live. I think I will do it in the future as well, right now two fans with 45cm blade diameter are doing the job.
What the my european mind doesn't understand is this take.
I'm an Energy Auditor, and heat pump is the most used system now.

Do yall not have the option for cheap windows units for individual rooms? Our AC died a couple years ago and I just grabbed a couple of small window units for cheap until I could get it fixed.

I am so glad I live in Scandinavia and miss 90% of the heatwaves, I can barely handle 25 celsius. When it gets over 25 I stop functioning like a normal human.

Heat doesn't bother me much anymore, but the humidity is what I hate, just dripping all the time. Clothes just drenched around me butt, back and thighs.

the first thing that hit me when I moved to the UK with my wife was how the fuck you all survived this long without home AC units.
Monday and Tuesday in the Nocty house ya boy was sweating his titties off, got barely any sleep, nutsack sticking to legs like cement.
It fucking sucks man. But thankfuly we only see the sun like that maybe 10 days of the year.

I had an AC in China that could run hot or cold. I could see the benefit of that if you tracked the cost of natural gas or electric for heating and choose the energy source that was cheaper at the time.

Toulouse is getting hotter to. But it's dry and we have AC47°C/116°F at 6:30 PM here in southwest France

London is worse

Tag, you're it.
47*
Yeah Toulouse/Lyon are very hot. Been there a few times but 47°C in southern France is significantly harder to cope with and much more dangerous overall than 32°C in London. I have no doubt 32 in London feels awful due to the humidity, but 47° is reaching extreme temperature. Especially with how unprepared we are for this kind of heatwave and that soon into the summer.

European heat isn't something to scoff at. Historical temperatures were far lower and the infrastructure and housing just wasn't designed around long periods of extreme heat.
It can also be incredibly humid on top of that. I scoffed at the thought of European heatwaves until I experienced a few summers here myself. Absolutely fucking terrible. And for context, I'm from Namibia/South Africa. 38c in the Netherlands is not my idea of a good time.
Thank god I installed AC in my home.
And yes, it is getting hotter:
