Brits complain about 92 degree summers. Meanwhile, in Texas, we can get up to 110+ degrees, with the humidity making it feel like 120. And that's just Texas. It gets even hotter in South America. Oh, and don't forget about Australia. 92 is pretty much considered Spring for them.

brits call 25 degrees a heatwave lmao that's just a nice day

isn't it the worst season everywhere?

Well you could try going over to finland or sweden.

The difference is that air conditioning is a rarity in England, even now. With how our electricity costs an arm and a leg it costs a silly amount to even run a single unit. So while Texas gets up to 120, it's only that bad while you're outside and you're not outside all of the time. Meanwhile in the UK you're just always hot

As an example of the cost, the average air conditioning unit uses 3-5 kilowatts of energy, so to run that for an hour in the UK you'd have to pay £1-1.5 per hour, which equates to 1.35-2 USD per hour.

Yes.

Christmas = worse season in the UK.
I despise what shops and business has done to it and the ridiculous people that promote the pile of ♥♥♥♥♥ it has become.

From a festival of good things to 'buy more Chinese ♥♥♥♥ or your Scrooge!'

If anybody rereads the Christmas Carol they will notice Scrooge says some valid points for the modern day.

So that's why everyone's in Tesco and Sainsbury stores...

Because our houses are cr@p. Always been cr@p. They are slums from the 1800s/1900s that have no insulation at all or bad brickwork, meaning they are freezing cold in winter and boiling hot in summer.

Brits are so poor we have to have our laundry/wash rooms in with our kitchens, something that mortifies most Americans.

28 degrees here in good old Belfast and loving it

My view of hemp bricks for garden walls is viewed with skepticsim but it would work on lowering the temperature outside as has been proved .
- do not know about replacing house bricks because thats a crazy huge project. But garden walls are doable and would create lots of work.

Because they don’t have access to as much AC and its a humid country

31c here, I'm just relaxing with a fan, temps are going to drop next week anyway.

come to phoenix

I got one of those neck fans i put on when it gets too hot. The noise is only downside to it - and the risk of strangulation.

anything over 70f/21c is too much for me, and lately it's been 90f+/32c+ where i live
i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate summer ;-;

You didn't need to specify "UK." Summer sucks in general, no matter where you are. I'd trade in the sweltering heat for a cold rainstorm any day.
