Went to Germany/Switzerland/France last summer, no AC anywhere - what a misery.

  Last year was a walk in the park compared to this year, especially the recent week. The worst day wasn't even the highest one in temperature. Humidity, wind, air pollution§, and no reprieve during night, the combination makes it incapacitating in much more ways than merely "hot" is. It's like cooking slowly, with hardly a way to ever cool down. § breathing is a very effective active cooling system.

  Tbh getting more than 30 degrees in these countries is a 10days/year thing. We just suck it up, ac is expensive and consume huge amount of energy. Most big building have passive climate control that gets the temp 5-7 degrees less than outside and it's more than enough.
