HI Clyve,
I was in the UK ( near London) in 2007 .The buildings in England, around London are designed for the cold of winter with quite inadequate provision for heat waves , now becoming more common there. Also the higher temperatures have a rather higher Relative Humidety than we experience here, making the heat quite oppressive.Even 27 degrees in London is very hard to put up with.Certainly the Brits have little knowledge of how to handle hot weather.

Hi all....Interesting warnings from CNN and the
BBC (Austar). The weather presenter on CNN was covering the pending heat wave
for London and parts of southeast England, the beat up by the presenter was
rather worrying ?...First the need for everybody to drink water, stay
indoors wear sun block bla bla bla and on it went describing the 'dangerous
heat expected.   Then the proper advice followed ...the weather
forecast....sunny and hot with a maximum in London of 28c !!!!!!
????.   I presume after all that most Londoners are cowering under the
staircase....regards Clyve H.

PS....The 'heat wave' for London is expected to
peak  Tuesday with a max of 30c and thunderstorms....anyone for a strom
chase ? !...
