Here in sunny south Florida, it basically never breaks like 38C, so hearing about fuckin' ENGLAND getting cooked like that is nuts, and it's apparently even hotter in southern Europe right now. Never experienced more than like 42C anywhere in my life.RGC wrote:...and on course to reach 40°C in the next couple of hours. Productivity has gone out the window today. How do people function when their whole summer is like this! </moan>
Down here, we manage with loads of AC -- I'm the weirdo who still drives with the windows down everywhere instead of blasting AC in the car since it's more fun that way, but I only get to do that since once I'm done with the drive, I can go into a nice, refrigerated building and cool off properly.
Genuinely hope you guys don't have power problems, because coping without it in an insulated building [here in FL, all our buildings are well insulated to keep the cold in] is hell. Literally, with all the heat.
