When in the UK it was very hot and a lot of their properties don't have air conditioning
No because it is generally far less important than household heating lol. You must have been here on one of the rare occasion the mercury headed slightly above freezing when we get my favourite thing about summer warm rain!!!
In all seriousness, I stayed in London a couple of years ago when taking my Daughter to see a show on the West End for her birthday and I was in a basement room and it was stifling, we were moved room during the night as it was utterly unbearable. It was basically the only time I have ever thought about air-conditioning in this country lol.
2018 heat wave. +27 every day for weeks. It's funny though as =27 here is nothing at all...+45 is. Still, with no AC there...It was uncomfortable to slee in as I'm used to AC.
Imagine your London experience for months on end...That's Australia in summer. Lol.
And I get the same as @galenkp and maybe just a bit more. I don't have central heating but my air conditioner could cool a bowling alley :)
Yep, you're used to living in a blast furnace too! 🥴
A bowling alley? So that would result in very cool balls, right? Good to see ya man, I hope you are doing great 👍😎
Oh that was exactly when it was, 2018, my youngest Daughters 18th birthday. Whilst we were in London, Kent a few miles away reached above 35 a very unusual occurrence here. I experience 40+ in Turkey and found it unbelievably intense. I developed a massive appreciation of AC on that holiday!!!
Yep...It was unpleasant for sure. It was funny around 27 degrees though, all the poms be red and flushed and all. 😂It's funny though, me, the chocolatey-coloured Aussie seemed to be the only one putting on sunblock. Our sun is brutal here though, so it's habit.
I do love a warm rain for sure, it's one of the coolest experiences! We get them here in Boston from time to time. A 90 degree day with a nice warm rain to break it up is cool!
