psa because i’m still hearing people in hot countries make fun of the uk for the ‘heat wave’

pides:

pides:

  • the uk is a very mild, humid place
  • sweat does not evaporate well in humid heat; the uk has very, very humid heat
  • meaning british people cannot cool down efficiently
  • also british people are adapted for cooler temperatures
  • people are literally expected to die in the next couple of days because of the heat wave
  • the news has put out health warnings because people will literally die because of the heat
  • shut up

oh yeah it’s also been pointed out in comments – we have no AC. no houses have AC. most buildings don’t have AC. most cars don’t have AC.
