Yeah, and I'm from australia, where normal temps can be higher than that too. You know what? We build appropriately. We hydrate. We use air con and shade. People are accustomed to it.

I also recognise that many other countries are not used to these temperatures and that although we've faced them before in Australia, we are now facing them more often and with more intensity. Also, with more floods at other times. More droughts and more extreme weather events of other kinds.

People are dying due to climate change. In this case, it includes two children who died in a car.

    I swear until maybe a decade ago a hot day in the U.K. was about 17/18 Celsius.

    20 probably happened now and then.
