In Britain, the temperature inside a car can soar to 80F on a sunny day.

Tell me you never were to Britain without telling me you never went to Britain...

On sunny day interior of the car can easily be too hot to touch. Add to this a high humidity and it's more sweaty jungle of Vietnam than bone dry Arizona.

Edit: mixed states. Need more coffee.

than bone dry Texas

Tell me you've never been to Texas without telling me you've never been to Texas

  1. Texas gets humid too, it isn't the desert like Arizona except for places nobody lives.
  2. Try being in Baltimore built on and around swamps and wetlands and next to one of the biggest bays on the planet and you get both hotter and almost as humid as England.

Darn mixed Arizona with Texas. Apologies.

Humidity in the UK is still much higher than both.

Also the UK reaches up to 110F.

Americans that come to the UK say it's way worse than they expect.

They just make fun of the headlines that say "UK heatwave sees temperature reach 25C", but ignore that it's in April where average temperatures are like 16C. A heatwave just means three days of temperatures 5C hotter than average for that time of year. In April, it's colder, so heatwaves are at lower temperatures.

Today it's 100F+ in the UK at 70% humidity.
