"We're going through what I call 'Texas temperatures' at the moment, because it's like 40 degrees centigrade. That's, you know, 110 plus Fahrenheit. For us in Britain, that's astronomical… Police are turning up and telling people, ‘You either remove your air conditioners, or we'll arrest you.’
We're leading the world in policing thought and policing speech.

Passive cooling (fans, opening windows) can't cool you off when the outside temp is 34C/ 93F, which is what they want the people to do. 93F is pretty hot, particularly when the people are not used to it. On the other hand, it's been upper 90's in my location for several days. Not a problem usually, but my AC broke last Sunday, and the part won't be here for another 2-3 days. Bought a portable AC which is OK for one room, but at least it's temporary. Would not be so bad if there were trees for shade, but the tornado several years ago took the 100+ year old oaks down, and there are none around the house now.
Yes! Water and wind work well. Reminds me of my cross country motorcycle rides through hot climates. I just made sure to keep as much bottled water as possible to pour down the inside of my jacket while keeping the jacket vents open. My wet undershirt would cool me off while I rode through the hot air. Huge cooling effect. Works well.
I've had one of those operating outside in the past. Unfortunately, the humidity here is already high, and the swamp cooler makes it worse. Even at night/ early morning, the temp is about 74 and the humidity is 72. Opening windows cools things down, but everything feels wet. This portable AC is pulling out 1/2 gallon or more of water per hour.
Yea, I looked on the weather network - next mid week you're predicted to hit 33-35C, but not as hot as the guy is saying. For us in Canada, Quebec and west, that's a normal summer temperature.
We can get close to that here in the Maritimes but the systems coming off the ocean always override the high pressures pushing from the west.
One of the years I was stationed at RAF Alconbury the UK had one of the hottest summers on record. I tried to buy a box fan but they were sold out everywhere - on bases and off. Fortunately my mom mailed me one. That summer sucked.
I'm even more curious how the brit civilians are reacting to this crapshow (the restrictions and tyranny are getting more and more absurd by the days...)
I know Rebellion is inevitable, but this ignorance dam should already have blown loudly by now
Put your fan IN the window facing out, that will pull all the inside air to the outside. If you can get some more open elsewhere this really helps move the air inside your home.
Nighttime tip: sounds crazy but it works. Throw your pillow in the freezer, like your deep freeze, an hour or so before you go to bed. You laugh until you try it lol.
What I always laugh about is how there is a certain type of person that points this out because they think those warnings are there to protect idiot would be consumers from hurting themselves.
Vee are vorking on vays to simply token-zise de sweat …….aka: tax it……
Some might say, “but there is already a tax on our ‘sweat’ called income tax”. However, zis vill be more related to actual droplets produzed, and layered upon existing taxes,
Happiness. In 250 years the British government are at their core still the same pompous retards they’ve always been. They hate the thought of their subjects being happy in any way.
As an Afrikaner, I’ve never cared for nor thought much of the few poms I’ve known in my lifetime, almost all of them have been complete assholes. Maybe its just in my DNA since my grandparents’ grandparents had to endure their concentration camps, farm burnings and ethnic cleansing, before finally kicking them out of our country.
But every day the things America’s founding fathers wrote in that brilliant document in 1776 is given more and more scope by the unhinged tyranny coming from that absurd little island’s retarded government and its creepy inbred monarchy.

Use it often.
They often use the spectre of WW3 and everyone being imprisoned, and/or genocide to manufacture consent.
We are not having 40C, this is nonsense, its more like 34C.

If you have electricity, but no air conditioning, you can make what we in the USA call the "hillbilly air conditioner" or "swamp cooler."
Get a plastic chair, table, shelf, stepladder, or anything similar that is waterproof.
Take a large towel or a few sheets. Soak them in water and wring them out thoroughly.
Drape the wet towels/sheets over your chair or table.
Place a fan on the floor several feet behind this arrangement and turn on the fan.
Enjoy cool air!
Yes, you will have to re-wet the towels or sheets from time to time, but this really does work.
NOTE: Never let the wet towels/sheets touch the fan in any way. Never drape them over the fan - that would be extremely dangerous.
Please pass this along to anyone who might need the information.

I live near to the city that reached canada's highest ever temperature (Lytton BC, 51 celcius).
It was so absolutely searing hot that my running shoes melted on the sidewalk, leaving a rubbery footprint.
Anything above 35 celcius is dangerous in my opinion
appreciate your honesty on this.
A fan with a pan of ice in front of it. (I assume fans are allowed.)
93 f huh.

NO KINGS!!!
104 isn't it?
The British people need to arrest British police and politicians or there may be no more British people.

Law for you and not for me. This is a disgrace. Tyrants
in the 90s they had warning labels on butter knives in stores. Sometimes you can just see it coming.
Have a source for this?
I visited there and saw it in a department store at the time.
100 percent
This is true , but i have no source as far as a tag to show u
What I always laugh about is how there is a certain type of person that points this out because they think those warnings are there to protect idiot would be consumers from hurting themselves.
Why is the UK government telling people to turn their air conditioners off?
That beer better not be cold either.
Shouldn't sweating be illegal?
No! No! No! …..not Illegal!!!!!!!!!
Vee are vorking on vays to simply token-zise de sweat …….aka: tax it……

Ve are quite proud of ziz achievement.
(/s = sarcasim)😀😀😀😀
Look at the Medieval Warming in the 11th century.
The UK is the nastiest HOA on the planet.
Change my mind.
Lol, exactly!🐸👌
Local councils are filled with Karen's and Ken's i bet.
If they don't havve air,they don't want anyone else enjoying it.
How do they have time between burying their heads in the sand to ignore rape gangs, and licking the boots of muzzies, to pursur this?
