    Honestly from someone that has a lot of trouble dealing with the heat I hope people become more aware of how dangerous heat can become. So tired of hearing people complain about the cold like the heat is aways good. I don’t have a heater, in fact I can sleep with the windows open in negative temperatures (celsius) but I NEED an air conditioner in the summer, but people always complain like is some sort of luxury, no is not, I don’t tell people during the winter that heating is a luxury despite the fact that I don’t have any heating

      Same!

      I also hate the term ‘lovely weather’ for such hot days. Lovely and people dieing from heat exhaustion is an awkward combo.

        Exactly, wildfires everywhere, people dying, food spoiling and making people sick, UV radiation increasing your chances of skin cancer, everything and everyone smells bad from the sweat. Not “lovely” at all, specialy cause there’s not much you can do to protect yourself, unlike the cold, good clothes won’t save you
