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

    That 111 you see is 43.9C.

      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

        Yeah, the humidity also doesn’t compare. The US is, as with most things especially lately, way worse.

        None of this means the UK has it easy, don’t misunderstand. It means the people stuck in the US are in a crazy land of stupid things which includes the weather. But at least there aren’t Australian murder fauna I guess.

    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.
