I heard a Brit say the other day it was scorching out. So I asked how hot it was, they said 25 degrees C. I laughed so hard I almost fell from my chair. Where I live it was 33 degrees at that time and had been 39 degrees earlier that week.
Dry or humid?
The problem with British heat is that it's very humid, which is a lot worse than a dry heat. I've hardly felt a dry European 40°, but anything over 27° at home (Sheffield) and I'm just flobbing about trying to cool down.
Extremely humid, we were at 86% around then.
Fair enough. It's probably just what you're used to then. I remember being over in the Caribbean a few years ago, someone got out of the sea and went "it's cold". Cold I said? You come to England I'll show you cold.
Cue the northern Canadians scoffing at my definition of cold.
It's not often over 25° here so we're not used to it. Plus our houses are designed to keep the heat in and the cold wet out.
