Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in sweaters. It’s like they don’t know what to do. It’s like they don’t own t-shirts

That’s only 86F. It’s not a heat wave in the US until it’s in the mid 90s. That’s 35 Celsius.

yeah it’s not bad globally, but it is pretty bad for london
esp because it’s pretty humid as well, sweating doesn’t do much

40C in London in 2022, 37.7C last month (June 2026)

Anything over 28C is currently classified as a heatwave, but I think they’re going to have to revisit that, or just say “all summer is a heatwave try not to die” given 32-35C has been consistently hit pretty much every summer this decade.

I always wear long sleeved shirts, because I burn very quickly and don’t want skin cancer and I really dislike applying sunscreen all the time.

Same, but when it’s 30c+ outside there’s a huge difference between us going out wearing long sleeved linen shirts and light trousers, and the handful of people I always end up seeing (at least!) wearing puffer jackets and wooly hats.
