    As an Aussie visiting Europe that regularly deals with these temperatures… This is so much more uncomfortable than an Aussie summer. But it’s an easy fix: make AC a standard measure (the amount of shops and restaurants here that are high 30s INSIDE is something I’ve never seen before), make free drinking water a legal requirement, and make public toilets a thing too (so people don’t need to worry about hydrating!)

      Most places where I lived in Europe do have drinking fountains spread around and public toilets. Regarding A/C… I have never seen it as something required, a bit of a luxury to me. And I did live in places over 50°C without A/C.
