Tbf if thats higher than the infrastructure can support it will cause problems even if thats not that hot. Like they dont have AC anywhere. All the infrastructure is made to keep heat in because it was so cold
IIRC they're also not built to keep the heat in because like 5000 people died due to cold weather in 2022/23. Seems like the UK has had the copper wire ripped out of the walls slightly faster than other imperialist countries.
The UK has the worst housing stock in western Europe. Homes are not only prohibitively expensive, they are also smaller, less energy efficient and in worse repair than in neighbouring countries.
Insulation in particular is basically the worst in Europe
you don't need AC for 26C unless you're a literal snowflake
Death to America
26C outdoors with no AC and poorly designed buildings with bad ventilation can easily mean 30C+ indoors
UK housing is dogshit, and isn’t largely designed in a way to get a good cross breeze and natural cooling
i would simply go outside
Death to America
Insulation works both ways. If it's hot outside, just keep the windows closed and the house will stay cooler. Open them at night after it's cooled down.
I would simply open a window and turn on a fan.
79 is basically room temperature
79 outside with no AC and badly designed buildings with no natural cooling can easily mean 90+ inside
It’s fine as long as all you need to do is sit outside in the shade, but if you have to do anything it becomes a problem
Dude where I grew up in a third world country it was hotter than this every single day of the year and everyone worked outside. Britoids get over your precious milky constitutions.
This thread is as pathetic as a bunch of white people complaining about how spicy kung pao chicken is
Not the first time Hexbear gets weirdly defensive over people mocking the UKKK
Some people have very clearly never traveled and have no perspective of the outside world at all
Lol
26C/79F is pleasantly cool weather. It's 30C/86F and humid in the room I'm sitting in right now, probably warmer outside, and this is still pleasantly warm though starting to edge a bit close to the point where it becomes uncomfortably warm.
Like 26C/79F is "this is the result of the AC running until it's starting to get chilly and gets turned off" temperature.
Finland is the same way and gets to 26C every summer. We just open the windows and use fans
