  1. We people in India, generally experience these temperature around 40° but with Fans, A/Cs and coolers. I thought what's the big deal to be in 30-35°, but then I got to know people in UK don't use AC that much.

  2. yikes no air conditioning 😬, i feel them though, back in February of 2021 texas and other states had record breaking temperatures, that to a lot of people said wasnt nothing crazy but to people with no heat and no experience with that temperature said otherwise. Where i was in houston it very rarely snows but during February the tops of houses were full with snow the streets ,the yards, everywhere, and with no heat it was terrible

  3. i am from middle east and we get heat around 40° or more, its easy to adabt if you follow some tactics such as :
    1always walk in shade, or use head cap or hat, we use head scarfs.

    2 drink water in the morning half liter, and same in the evening and when you feel thirst, maybe spray your face with water too can help.

    3 avoid running or consuming energy.

    Heat is very dangerous even for adapted people thats why sticking to those basic tactics is important, after that everythng can be managed.

  4. Interesting how most of the stuff melts runways over there, now talking in America, some of our air bases are in stupid hot conditions right? Curious to know how they deal w it. I think in Great Britain, it just never reaches that temp so there’s need to worry about stuff like that? The question is jumbled but if you can read it, let me know!

  7. I was in Iraq in 2003, and that was the worst heat/ weather I’ve ever felt and I’m from South Louisiana. I wonder how it is possible for that place to get any hotter without busting into flames.

  8. For all of you saying “Oh why don’t they just build AC units?”, the point is they never should have needed to. This shouldn’t have happened in the first place but we’ve done barely anything to prevent climate change.
