It's the lack of sure conditioning in Europe that makes it especially brutal.

Sure, there are hotter climates but they are usually more prepared with AC. Certainly not always, I know.

AC doesnt help construction or farm workers, doesnt help against wildfires and also not against drought.

The economy and society asba whole arent prepared for these temperatures. We would need a cultural shift even in northern Europe, where siestas need to become normal. Too bad if you would need to commute 2h back and forth for your siesta break.

It also, given our current electricity-creation-machines, only exacerbates the whole "climate change" thing.
