No many have air conditioning here we just melt and reform in autumn

@Leyolaoftolin I don’t tolerate heat well. I’d probably end up with a bad heat rash and heat stroke.
Leyolaoftolin · 18-21, FNew
@cherokeepatti I recommend melting 🫠

American Missionaries Dispatched To Europe To Spread The Good News About Air Conditioning
Confined · 56-60, M
Once people visit here from the UK they dont want to go home. Watched a video yesterday.
MarineBob · 61-69, M
Hell,even my detached garage has a/c
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@MarineBob What I heard was that they believe those with a/c’s are using too much electricity.

I was in Liechtenstein at a city festival several years back and the elderly were dropping like flies. I've never been so hot. It was awful.
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@SweetMae The problem in the United States is that the elderly are scared to leave their windows open in most areas due to fear of home invasions. Then the house doesn’t get fresh air, and they get dehydrated and sweat out their electrolytes. They are told by doctors to cut down on salt and many aren’t getting enough to handle the heat. They can die from a heat stroke. There are box fan giveaways for those who don’t have or can’t afford to run air conditioning here in Oklahoma. But when it’s blazing hot a house will absorb the daytime heat all night long. I lived in a small poorly insulated house in the countries in the 1970’s and it was like that. Would get up to get another glass of ice water at about 1 or 2 in the morning and the walls would be hot.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@cherokeepatti Probably not. So sad and scary. My heart goes out to them.

Their government has failed them.
FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
@TexChik way worse. They are close becoming North Korea and Kimmy hates copy cats.
FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
God save them 😓


I don't see any hope for them but only in God's time.
We don't even have air conditioners to unplug lolol

Those Brits that traveled here for the World Cup might as well stay put in the US for as long as they can. Seems that things in the UK are not getting any better.
Adrift · 61-69, F
I asked Google what is the current weather is in the UK.
53 degrees and currently raining.
Where I am from we call that winter.
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@Adrift Maybe it’s cooled down then. It was up in the 90’s and it’s really humid there all the time.
Adrift · 61-69, F
@cherokeepatti Yeah I heard that the humidity and the wind chill in the winter is not something I think I could handle.
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@Adrift Oklahomans that move to Colorado say that the cold in Colorado is not so bad like it can get in Oklahoma. It’s probably the wind that blows from a certain area in Colorado that makes it feel so cold here.

I have heard that throughout Europe, including the UK, over 175,000 people have died of the heat in this current heat wave.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
Well I suppose they could come here. We haven't had a day over 80 for almost a year now. Lots of rain though. Record rain.
wildbill83 · 41-45, M

Europeans don't know what "hot" is...

worked outside all day, no ac, was 98°F (and about 80-85% humidity) when I left at 7pm...
idontcareok · 70-79, M
95 in ny, tomorrow around 97, sucks
Nimbus · M
Awwww, I haven't heard about unplugging AC's, it's just balderdash! :)
I have AC and no one will attempt to! 😛
Leyolaoftolin · 18-21, FNew
@Nimbus cuts the cable 🤭
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@Nimbus you are pretty conservative how much you use it thought aren’t you?
Nimbus · M
@cherokeepatti Yes!
It's quite expensive to run here.
Munumbis · 46-50, M
The UK is filled with horror stories. The things coming out of their are stomach turning. Things to haunt your dreams. Not how i was taught to picture the UK.
Leyolaoftolin · 18-21, FNew
@Munumbis Birmingham does that to us too
Munumbis · 46-50, M
@Leyolaoftolin Do tell..
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
First I have heard of it, most likely fake news as there is not that much AC!
tenente · 36-40, M
it's a disaster :(
