I noticed this week....lot of hype in the UK about upcoming 'heat waves' in England. Well...to be honest, they were suggesting something like 24 C (75 F) is a heat wave.
Germans? They generally freak out when it reaches 30 C (86 F).
I spent time in Arizona....where the temperature on a couple of occasions reach 47 C (117 F). I also spent time in Panama where the humidity would be 80-percent, and the day temperature would reach 34 C (94 F).....and you were in a serious sweat situation for five hours out of the day.
It's hard to sell me on some heat-wave business. Even if you mess with the weather map and redden all the temperature readings on the map....to say 34 C (93 F) is RED-RED-RED.....I just start laughing.
How did Germans survive the past couple thousand years without AC....in dreadful 34C (93 F) temperatures? They probably consumed a fair amount of beer, sat under trees, and wore minimum clothing.
