At least the UK has the luxury (and downsides) of the breeze from the seas and the ocean, since it's an island. Meanwhile, on continental Europe, most landlocked countries are being cooked alive.
Bonus since many countries don't have AC in residential buildings.
- petercooper 4y agoYou're right, though the effect of that only seems to go about 20 miles inland (which is a fair bit of the UK, to be fair). The other downside to being surrounded by sea is almost guaranteed high humidity which makes the heat far harder work (a la Florida vs Arizona).
- mytailorisrich 4y agoThe effect of the ocean does not go far inland as you can see on the map included in the Met's tweet. Forecast for England pretty much matches that for France.
