Pls tell me this is a joke and 26 isn't actually considered a heat wave there
I've lived in Riyadh, Karachi and Bangkok where the summers are considered super 'hot' if you only look at the value of the thermometer.
But in England it's easily the worst, mostly because of the humidity combined by the fact that our houses are built like ovens.
Our houses are built to insulate heat, and even new houses don't have AC units built into them. Not to mention that they're super expensive to retrofit.
