Im pretty sure the reason why British people are having such a hard time dealing with the heat is because they’ve built everything to trap in heat, since it’s always so cold there. But, I still think they’re being over dramatic💀
Ya most of the homes were designed to trap heat but due to climate change the heat got much worse. They had a chance to remake there home to be more efficient but they didn’t.
We have a similar situation in Norway too, but we're used to everything being frozen in large parts of the year. So when the temperature reaches 25c (77f), that becomes an issue. I'm not denying that Arizona, Florida, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and many other places have significantly hotter temperatures. But having visited the latter 3, I can testify that the heat hits differently.
@@TheDandelionViking humidity. The places you listed have dry heat. A good example of humid heat is wel the US south. That place gets humid and combined with heat you can’t find shade to help caus it’s not the sun that’s hot it’s the water vapor.
We have high relative humidity. Low celinings Houses with massive amounts of insulation And wide brick walls to trap in heat. Come to England in the middle of june/July and seriously, you won't be able to bear it
😂 for real but same concept winter hits texas "hard" sometimes because out houses can't keep heat very well remember that one time our power consumption from heaters were so high we had brownouts
@@Alex-dh2cx and when it's 25c outside, I can't get my house cooler than 32c. when it's 30c outside, I can't get my house cooler than 36c. We had a 42c heatwave in 2022 where my house was 47c. All I could do is pour water on myself constantly. The problem is that theres no escaping the heat because we don't have AC unless you are super rich. I have been to Florida in the summer, and yes it's very warm, but at least you can escape the heat.
Except it does go over 100f, is just as humid as Florida, all buildings are designed to keep heat in and we have no AC’s. But it only gets around that hot for around 1-2 weeks.
@@joshbentley2307 the point is this story is dumb, this "heatwave" is nonexistent. It's not that the UK doesn't get hot, it's that there's a news story wigging out about room temperature heat and everyone finds it silly. Also, it does not get as humid as Florida. Florida and the nearby states are subtropical, the humidity stays high even when the temp hits triple digits. Keep in mind, humidity % at 50°, 75°, and 100° all mean very different amounts of water in the air. I looked it up for reference, when London hot 104° a couple years ago, humidity dropped all the way down from 90% in the middle of the night to 13% when the temp got higher. It'll stay at 70% in Florida even at 100° on the worst days.
I start to feel too hot when it get past 17C. So 62F. Even if I have the heating on, I never put it up past 21C. I just don't like the heat and prefer the cold
Australia in summer time, need I say more? 40⁰c is common in all major Australian cities (except maybe Hobart), summer peaking at 45-47⁰c is not rare. 50⁰c can happen in the more rural areas.
Because the UK is a wet and cold country we have a lot of humidity that you only really feel when it is raining and there’s a lot more moisture in the air. that moisture is usually there all year round and because of that during heat waves in the UK. it may only be 23 to 25°c but because of the humidity it is a hell of a lot higher making it a lot harder to cool down there for making it actually feel a lot hotter than it is
Hey dude if you want to shut brittens up you need to put the temperature in a metric they can understand -please show this in Celsius because i think it would be funny-
90s? That's a nice week. It's when the temp gets to 105 with 20% humidity is rough. But 115 with 0% humidity is a nice day as long as you got a Breeze and some shade an a ton of water.
In the south they have more humid environment too and it’s like 96-106 I get the British are used to the cold and houses don’t have AC and aren’t made for the Room temperature 70-76F but don’t ever say that’s hot or bad to people who take more heat daily
Bro you can hear the kinda unbelieving tone in the first guys voice, correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that video was saying American heatwaves were worse, also HOW DO AMERICANS NOT OWN A KETTLE NOT AN ‘OH Il put MY KetTLE on the SToVe’ I’m talking electric HOW? Also, America seems nice
yeah, but only 52% humidity in your house, lol. most of us don't have air conditioning, so there is no escaping it if the temperature rises. seriously though, the definition of a heatwave is relative to the average monthly temperature. it's about what you are used to and prepared for i guess
I live in west tn We get up to 99% humidity and about mid/high 90's not to mention the flying roaches Yall don't know until you've had to fight a helicopter climbing up the sweat of your soda The WALLS SWEAT WHERE I LIVE
Dude doesn't know what a heat wave is, its always hot where he lives. Closer to the equator heat doesn't fluctuate as much, ergo two seasons, ergo low temp changes. People climatize well to slow/constant temp, the temp he feels would be just as comfortable as anyone anywhere else. STFUYSB
I live in England and it reaches 98 Fahrenheit pretty often in summer and the hottest is be for me is 104 and tbh I think this is all to do with Americans wanting to be the centre of the world “nO It cAnT bE HoT AnyWhErE ELse!”
Idk man. I moved from the UK to southern Taiwan which consistently hits 35 degrees C in the summer sometimes more with 100% humidity. Though it’s insanely hot here, 30 degrees in the UK was far harder to deal with day to day, there was no respite or AC. Little public infrastructure is designed to cool down significantly. The plus side to it though is we really take advantage of the heat in the UK and we always have a good time with it
How’s your air conditioned home? Nobody is saying it’s hotter here. But because we don’t have air conditioning in the majority of buildings (which are all built from bricks and are designed to retain heat) it certainly is a lot less comfortable
As a fellow Arizonian, seeing all of the articles from UK saying “it’s so hottttt” made me laugh but cringe at it 😭 come down to az for a DAY then complain that it’s hot where you live 💀
I live in California, and normally have the pool solar panel heater on. But that actually makes warm. And what is 100 + outside I don't want it to be anywhere warm
Most british households lack an AC, they live in heat trapping houses, their culture and dress is not ment for hot weather, their daily activities and bodies are not accustomed to heat. The high humidity from living surrounded by an ocean, lakes and rivers while also being in a city where wind almost never blows means houses heat up and never cool down until night and peoples sweat stay on their bodies all day without cooling them down.
My apartment ac went out so I have survived with two fans trying to cool a 95 apartment for the last week, Brit’s can’t say shit, there are probably thousands of American near me who can withstand heat better than me.
British here trust me our heat waves are nothing compared to yours and I don’t know anyone who thinks they are. I agree American heat waves are worse but British people don’t think we have worse
We say our heatwaves are worse because if you compare the difference between our average day and out hot days there is a much bigger difference than what you get over there! Here every day is cold raining and gloomy! Thats why we are all depressed! So when we get 20 degree weather, its a heatwave for us because be are barely over 0°c most of the year!
brit here, we aren’t built for hot weather at all 😭 no way our heatwaves are worse than literally anywhere closer to the equator than us, but we absolutely suck at dealing with weather that goes too far in any one direction, sunny, rainy, snowy, etc. we like moderately sunny or overcast with a slight breeze over here, because it’s all we can handle 😂
When you don't know about humidity and how it increases the heat index. You live in a very dry climate, so your heat doesn't feel nearly as hot. Britain is very humid, so 80 feels like 90. Also, if you're not acclimated to the heat, it can be much worse. Your ignorance is showing.
I grew up in Tennessee and lived with 90 degrees and 90% humidity most of my life. I moved to Phoenix 3 years ago. You can say all you want, but there’s no ignorance.
I'm an American and I won't go South of North Carolina or Tennessee in the summer. I was down there in a car with broken AC once. I had to swelter with the windows up because rolling them down on a highway was actually worse, it felt like a blowtorch.
