What Americans don't understand about the UK heat is that our climate is very humid, this isn't a dry 32c like most of the states, this is close to like swamplands in Florida. It's hot but also sticky.

There is currently 28% humidity in London and 73% in Miami with minimal temperature differences. Most of SoCal averages 60%+ humidity in the summer too.

Not saying it can't get humid there but I thought the bigger issue was the buildings are generally designed to keep heat in and aren't as often air conditioned?

Elect me as your next Prime Minister and I'll cover the entire city in shaded solar canopies. Every heat-soaked sidewalk and building wall becomes a power source instead of a medieval punishment device. Every walk downtown becomes a peaceful stroll in the shade instead of survival mechanics. Then we sell the excess electricity to neighboring countries in exchange for big booty bitches to maintain the system.

Pffff .... a 3 day heat wave is nothing compared to the good old days.

Correct. Because we get more cold days than blazing sun, our homes are designed to keep the heat in.

Another reason we suffer is because it rarely gets 30c or more here. Average in the summer is mid 20s celsius, so a day of 30c or more makes national news.

In Spain this week has been very warm too, like in late June or early July. Our year has been very wet so we should have no water problems if our politicians weren't a bunch of corrupt bottom of the barrel subhuman scum. So, in August there will be shortages and they will call it climate change.

I learned about this at Uni. Never thought we'd actually see one of those.

"The problem is that people now are soft compared to back then." People back then, "If you get weather like this, weep."

I work the water industry. The reason you're getting this is because the South East of England is incredibly water stressed. The population is growing too fast in that area for SEW and TW to keep up with demand.

We can blame the the water companies for not having enough reservoirs, burst mains etc etc, but population growth in the South East is the biggest issue and massive concern for all providers in the area.

Also, regarding the UK being a wet climate, the South East actually receives less rainfall than many people assume. Some parts get less annual rainfall than regions around Rome. It's a dry region of England.

Fucking foreigners coming over here nicking all our water, cheeky cunts, last year it was the 5g bandwith now this.

Americans don't spend more than 5 minutes away from air conditioning. About the time it takes them to waddle from their monster truck to the walmart.
