In the record-breaking UK heatwave, how will the coping capacity to deal with extreme heat in the UK compare to other countries with high temperatures?

It will be harder for many people because spells of temperatures above 30ºC have previously been rare and quite short-lived.
We, and most of our homes, are attuned to more comfortable temperature; in fact needing heating more than cooling, for a large part of the year.
Many of our commercial and public-service buildings have long used air-conditioning, sometimes with reversible heat-pumps to augment the heating in Winter, but it's rare in houses.
Not sure what this has to do with your main question, though.
