Fahrenheit is old and shouldn't be used anymore as evidenced by the fact less than 4 countries use it

@Ambrose Burnside If I were to be fiercely proud of my country's history, I'd force everyone to use our ancient methods of measurement, like "leiviskä" or "senttaali".

Fahrenheit is more precise being that it uses more ranges to measure air temperature. Also Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling of water - which is cool.. if we lived in water. Ultimately, Celsius is great for science and experiments. Fahrenheit works well just for measuring air temperature.

@Ambrose Burnside you use 100 cents to the dollar so your'e nearly metricated ,dont worry it doesnt hurt and we still use feet and inches when talking about length and height of common things (at least oldies like me do)

@@splva1362 can confirm. I visited victoria a few years ago and, as a brit, I was shocked at how changeable the weather was. Cold in the morning, 30c and burning by lunchtime, a thunderstorm for tea time and gale force winds by bed time.

in the grand scheme of climates, the uk doesn't have many extremes in terms of weather. The summers stay pretty cool and the winters stay relatively mild. Where I live, it will go through that cycle you have in the uk in less than a day and happens all the time. Last september here in Denver, it went from 32c one day to snowing in less than 24 hours, not even exaggerating. Summers are around 30c and winters are about 0c You brits have the gulf stream keeping weather somewhat consistent.

As a southern European living in northern Scotland I can attest to this. 25C feels like already too much where back home it's not unusual to withstand 40C without much worry. Scots though are a bit oblivious to what to do during heat waves. Their idea of keeping hydrated is to increase the beer intake.

@@joelnogueira7692 standard across the UK, the news tells us to drink larger quantities of water, beer has water in it, so why not... We will worry about the fact alcohol marked you dehydrated quicker later on when the hangover has kicked in and we regret everything 😂

Here's an interesting question for you and for all UK folk round here for that matter. I recently (less than 2 years ago) moved to the UK to Cornwall and live in a nice bungalow in a forest. Now we're about to move to a different place and whenever I speak to agents, they always try to convince me that I would need to move to a house^ with a family not a bungalow. Would anyone be able to elaborate on why is that? I mean ... this bungalow is moderately cool in the summer (as it has the raised floor with the airgap under) and perfectly warm in the winter (as it has double glazing all round) and the angle of the roof also ensures that it doesn't really heat up when the sun is higher up (in summer) and does somewhat heat up when the sun is lower (in winter). soooo why do you (not you specifically, but UK folks in genenral) hate them bungalows and deem them unsuitable for family living all year round? I found that this summers heat wave (26-29 down here in Cornwall) is bearable when in your home you can actually cool down and sleep properly. ^for those who might be unfamiliar with the different UK terms: bungalow is that one story house with brick external walls with huge a** windows on all sides and drywalls inside. House, the brick oven Lauryn mentioned - double stone / brick on the outside, brick walls inside, small windows.

Its lovely and warm in our houses in winter, but an oven death trap in summer heatwaves.

Here in the philippines, even if we use cooling fans, open the windows, wear clothing as little as possible, it is still hot. Add the fact that power outages frequently happens during summer. Imagine 42 degrees, high humidity, and no ways to cool down and it is work day, not a vacation.

No breeze at night is very shitty too

In theory, all of those things (other than air conditioning) should keep heat out as well as in, though. I’ve got no insulation in my property, double glazed windows, and laminate flooring, and none of that stopped the indoor temperature of my property reaching 28•C recently. I think we’re going to have to embrace air conditioning if the summers are going to keep this up, which they are, ‘cause global warming.

My house is pretty cool. I wouldn't call the weather we have a heatwave, honestly, it's not that hot!

The majority of temperature related comments are along the lines of "20 degrees in the UK - Too Hot, 45 Degrees in (hot climate), nice breeze for a walk".

But other locations have far more acclimatised structures as well as their own acclimisation to the environment.

Yuzan summers in Tokyo are very humid and heavy Tokyo heat is horrendous I lived in Japan and the Japanese heat is very peculiar

I made this point a while back. I had to sleep downstairs with our patio doors open because my entire house is a suntrap. As soon as the sun rises, we have to close off the patio. I woke up thinking it was nearly sunrise from the look of the sky, no. It was actually just 2:30am and we're still in that phase of not having true meterologial night time. Of course the opposite is true in winter which is why we're all grumpy. Too little vitamin D lol

That moment when you open the window for cool air and the air outside is the same temperature as the air inside

What I did for heatwaves this year was to open the blinds at night, along with the windows, and close them in the mornings and early afternoons, to allow for more heat to escape during the evenings and nights and for less heat to enter throughout much of the daytime. I don’t have to worry about my room heating up further during later afternoons very much, because my windows face Eastwards, and, by then, my windows don’t get much sunlight.

What was not taken into account in the video is that the better insulation of the houses not only keeps the heat in the house better but also the cold (if available). The isolation works both ways. But many northern Europeans do not have air conditioning, which means that the house warms up over time (adapts to the outside ambient temperature despite the insulation).

Higher latitudes receive less sunlight? What are you talking about?

It's because of the humidity that the UK gets. Every air mass, no matter if it originates in the continent, has to go over a body of water, which brings more humidity with it. The reason why it's worse with humidity is that you sweat less efficiently when there's more moisture as the sweat doesn't evaporate as well; that's why just talking temperature is technically wrong and should be accompanied by some humidity value as well (a wet bulb temperature).

Yes it is all about the humidity, don't worry, North Queensland has it's own share of humidity, 42 degrees and high humidity is deathly. I remember when I used to live up there, we had two air conditioners on in the same room 24/7 and you could not spend more than thirty seconds out of that room without going sticky from the heat.

This. I once lived in a flat that would be freezing during the winter, but a heatbox in the summer. It was a very old building so the old windows would often get jammed. One day it hit like 30°C outside. It was hotter inside and our windows were jammed shut. I felt delirious. We had cold wet towels to keep us cool and that was it!

How abt south east asia then lol

The UK never feels very humid at all, the dew points don't get high enough

Lmao north of australia still gets humid

das not it mane how does a paragraph describing how temperatures fell different depending on your geographical location make you ‘laugh your ass off’

Mr. Worldwide over here.

I love sweating on the beach doing nothing when it's too hot. Feels like free exercise lol

Humidity makes the difference. I was in Vietnam with that temperature but humidity at 70%. I was even sweating sitting in the shade.

What?! 40+ is definitely hot by Aussie standards. I've lived here all my life and I don't know anyone who doesn't struggle in those sort of temps.

I worked for a week in the open 43 degree this year, most brutal week of my life. Once it's above 40 everyone I know is whinging about it.

I have the opposite problem as an Aussie in a snowy winter climate in the US... and yes, my husband (and practically everyone else) laughs at how early in the season I start rugging up.

InefficientElectron my husband doesn’t seem to mind. If it gets above 43, he may comment, but honestly......he seems to be ok. In the meantime, I’m almost crying lol!

John Doe that’d be telling, wouldn’t it?
