We've had a heat wave here in England for the past week. (Although, coming from Florida, these people don't know what a real heat wave is)! It has been pretty hot though. The high got to around 90F (32c), albeit 10F below the all-time record of 100F set in 2003.We also experienced the hottest, driest and sunniest month since July 2006. Keep in mind the average temperature in London this time of year is just 73F. Even worse, air-conditioning is a luxury and certainly not the norm here. Most homes do NOT have it, so you just learn to cope. Thank God this country is as breezy as it is.
The Brits do make me laugh, though. At the first sign of sunshine, everyone starts to dress like they're at the beach. And everyone wears flip flops - even people commuting to work. It's an obsession with these people. Workers flock outside during their lunch hours to get some sun and possibly a glance at some 'posers' like these Chippendale dancers walking through Hyde Park.
