@TrueMasterCole just saying
This is something I think a lot of Americans don't understand about Europe.
In the US - particularly east coast - there's MONTHS of miserably hot weather, like weather that will kill you if you stay out in it too long.
In a large portion of Western Europe, there's probably about 2 or 3 heat waves spread across the summer, and the rest of the summer is quite cool, like cool enough that if you have an AC, you don't run it anyway... So people are lazy and they're like "oh I don't REALLY need that"

@cjd @TrueMasterCole the American south has the climate of north africa so duh
@domino @TrueMasterCole @cjd in any case the "wet bulb" temperature is key here. It's when your sweat stops evaporating due to humidity, basically giving you a heatstroke. Humidity is the killer. And yeah, US looks more humid than north africa here https://zoom.earth/maps/temperature-wet-bulb/
@teto @domino @cjd @TrueMasterCole This image was three years ago. You see that dark patch on the state that looks like a boot yeah I'm from there.
