Do the Brits just need to toughen up?
Watch more from the Did You Know? series ►► • Did You Know?
It's just summer in Australia, but it's a "deadly heatwave" over there. We're all used to different climates, and heatwaves are relative, but there's more to it. In Australia and other hotter climates, buildings are built to keep cool in the hot summer, and in the UK and other colder climates, the goal for buildings is to stay as warm as possible.

Fahrenheit is more precise being that it uses more ranges to measure air temperature. Also Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling of water - which is cool.. if we lived in water. Ultimately, Celsius is great for science and experiments. Fahrenheit works well just for measuring air temperature.

in the grand scheme of climates, the uk doesn't have many extremes in terms of weather. The summers stay pretty cool and the winters stay relatively mild. Where I live, it will go through that cycle you have in the uk in less than a day and happens all the time. Last september here in Denver, it went from 32c one day to snowing in less than 24 hours, not even exaggerating. Summers are around 30c and winters are about 0c You brits have the gulf stream keeping weather somewhat consistent. Out in the middle of the continent we have no oceans to moderate swings in temp, but we survive.

In theory, all of those things (other than air conditioning) should keep heat out as well as in, though. I’ve got no insulation in my property, double glazed windows, and laminate flooring, and none of that stopped the indoor temperature of my property reaching 28•C recently. I think we’re going to have to embrace air conditioning if the summers are going to keep this up, which they are, ‘cause global warming.

Here's an interesting question for you and for all UK folk round here for that matter. I recently (less than 2 years ago) moved to the UK to Cornwall and live in a nice bungalow in a forest. Now we're about to move to a different place and whenever I speak to agents, they always try to convince me that I would need to move to a house^ with a family not a bungalow. Would anyone be able to elaborate on why is that? I mean ... this bungalow is moderately cool in the summer (as it has the raised floor with the airgap under) and perfectly warm in the winter (as it has double glazing all round) and the angle of the roof also ensures that it doesn't really heat up when the sun is higher up (in summer) and does somewhat heat up when the sun is lower (in winter). soooo why do you (not you specifically, but UK folks in genenral) hate them bungalows and deem them unsuitable for family living all year round? I found that this summers heat wave (26-29 down here in Cornwall) is bearable when in your home you can actually cool down and sleep properly. ^for those who might be unfamiliar with the different UK terms: bungalow is that one story house with brick external walls with huge a** windows on all sides and drywalls inside. House, the brick oven Lauryn mentioned - double stone / brick on the outside, brick walls inside, small windows.

They're completely ignoring the whole premise of the video, which is that yes, temperatures are higher in other locations. But other locations have far more acclimatised structures as well as their own acclimisation to the environment.

This is all so true!! When I (an Aussie) went to New York over Christmas, I was absolutely shocked at how warm it was inside everywhere! It was super disconcerting at first - going from outside to inside was like stepping into a sauna! Previously Id kinda thought all the cloakrooms seemed a bit unneccessary and over the top, but no, you would definitely not want to keep your coats on in all of that! Whereas in Australia, it's often not really that much warmer inside than outside in winter? In fact, on a sunny day without wind it's probably warmer outside in the sun. If you were walking around in public you'd keep your coat on unless you sat down to eat or something, and rug up warmly inside.

Of course if I had stood, unprotected in the sunlight I would have been incinerated but actually, because there was zero humidity, as long as you were sensibly dressed, sought the shade and stayed hydrated, the temperature was quite tolerable. Conversely I have experienced 25c with very high humidity and it was absolute purgatory, genuinely difficult just to breath. The level of humidity makes a huge difference to how difficult or otherwise it is to endure both hot and cold temperatures

I don’t have to worry about my room heating up further during later afternoons very much, because my windows face Eastwards, and, by then, my windows don’t get much sunlight.

What was not taken into account in the video is that the better insulation of the houses not only keeps the heat in the house better but also the cold (if available). The isolation works both ways. But many northern Europeans do not have air conditioning, which means that the house warms up over time (adapts to the outside ambient temperature despite the insulation).

This is a long comment, feel free to read it if you want or just keep scrolling I don’t mind The reason why 25 Celsius feels hot in the UK is because our houses are built for colder climates and keeping the cold out. When it gets hot, the heat gets trapped inside our houses for weeks so our homes continue feeling hot after heatwaves. When you’re outside, it’s not as hot. Also we don’t have air conditioning in most of our homes unless you’re really rich. This is why I prefer winters and when it gets above 22 Celsius, I start feeling uncomfortable. I don’t know why but for some reason my bedroom is much hotter than the rest of my house, i have the windows open and fans on all the time but nothing happens. If anyone knows the reason, please let me know so I can fix it. It’s so strange because my brother’s bedroom is much cooler but he rarely opens his windows??? My ideal temperature is about 13-15 Celsius

It's because of the humidity that the UK gets. Every air mass, no matter if it originates in the continent, has to go over a body of water, which brings more humidity with it. The reason why it's worse with humidity is that you sweat less efficiently when there's more moisture as the sweat doesn't evaporate as well; that's why just talking temperature is technically wrong and should be accompanied by some humidity value as well (a wet bulb temperature).

When I moved to Australia, I thought people were taking the piss when they started complaining about the cold at 21C, but I looked at their arms and they did have goosebumps. The UK is humid, which makes moderate cold feel colder, and heat feel a LOT hotter. I've suffered through 46C with no air con in Canberra and it was nasty, but felt similar at 36C in Vietnam because of the humidity. The current humidity where I live now in the UK is usually between 60-85%, so when it gets up to 30-something all of a sudden, you really feel it. Similarly I've stood outside in a t-shirt in -26C in Austria and didn't feel as bad as -8C in a Swedish town where cars had turned a lot of the snow to slush so it was humid. There I felt like I was dying. Basically, 'too hot' means sweating while sitting still. 'Too cold' means needing to move to prevent shivering. Those temperatures depend mostly on physiology and humidity.

It’s kinda like how the Texans weren’t used to a tiny few inches of snow and unfortunately many people froze to death. Likewise, if you’re in a hotel in the UK during a heatwave, you won’t have aircon, the building will be designed to keep heat in, the window won’t open (by law, hotel windows don’t open) etc. In Spain it would be hot outside and cool inside. In the uk, it’s warm outside, but hotter inside.

I think the variability is what can make life difficult, and what makes us Brits talk about the weather a lot. Two weeks ago (end of July) it was 31 degrees with 22 at night, then it was only 19 during the day with 13 at night. Today is my favourite 21 with a slight breeze and a predicted 14 at night. Cool enough for a summer weight duvet and the windows open, but I’ll need socks and a cardigan this evening although barefoot and a T shirt right now. In the winter, although it often freezes at night it rarely stays frozen during the day. Therefore the rain or snow melts during the day and freezes into sheets of black ice at night. If it snows agin on top, this is really hazardous! So, although the weather might only be switching between -3 and +5, the effects can be annoyingly difficult to manage.
