    I can take 45C on holiday if it’s dry heat.
    But 24C and humid feels horrible.
    But ‘dangerous’ is as exaggerated as ‘extreme’
    Unless you’re old or have health issues.

      A lot of the UK do not have air conditioning and their houses are build to keep heat.

      Dangerous is exactly what it is for health vulnerable people and places that don’t take adequate health and safety measures. These are heatwaves that the country is not used to having, especially at the frequency we are now seeing, and people are dying because of this heat.

        Maybe they should stop being among the most obese people in Europe then if they care so much about their health?
