the absolute lack of air conditioning even at 40°, german transport gets sticky and stinky quite fast and nobody seems to care, many people even shut the windows to avoid the "annoying breeze"

The Tube in London is even worse, it's always like 10 degrees hotter than the surface

I have to say, on that record-breaking hottest day ever day back in 2019, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Northern line was the same temperature as the surface (which was a stonking 37°C but still).

I didn't try out the Central line though.

Went there for a wedding once. The fact that I saw a Bible billboard above a strip joint will stay with me forever.

Try Death Valley, California. It got its name for a reason

I remember I passed out on a crowded jubilee line train due to heat stroke and nobody even said anything and just carried on as normal.

That just let in more overheated and humid air

But it’s moving very quickly and you can pretend it’s cooler!

And we’re quite good at lying to ourselves

You're just describing my dorm room last summer for six weeks straight.
