[@Codex7777]

That was beaten the next day though, when it reached 40.3ºC. That's well above the average January temperature for most parts of Australia, so no. Your record temperatures are much higher, of course but that isn't what you were implying. Who would have thought that different places have different climates, eh? You learn something new every day... ;) :P :)

[@dWFnZWVr]

Not the same heat. Australia is mostly a dry desert, the UK is incredibly humid it’s sticky and uncomfortable, like being in a rainforest. The infrastructure in the UK also isn’t designed for excess heat either; houses are designed to retain heat, heavily insulated, air conditioning also isn’t standard and the asphalt on the roads can in some cases, melt. Just as Scandinavia is designed to withstand its notoriously cold weather (often in the minuses), Australia is built around its own climate. The same goes for the UK. You can’t compare the two, Aussies in negative temperatures with thick snow and ice and the nation would go to a standstill. It’s no different. Our countries are built to accommodate our climates. Milton Keynes has never been coined the British Maldives.
