I've been to Australia where it was 40 degrees and I coped fine, it's a different heat. People who haven't been abroad just don't get it, they always ask "but what do you mean, how can you have a different heat" and i never know how to explain it. It's just drier, more tolerable, here it's humid, muggy and just horrible. Like 30 and 40 odd in Australia I was ok, but 20 odd here and I can't cope with it

I think it's also down to the buildings and city layouts, in hot countries they are designed to be cooler, cast shade, slow down midday etc.
I can't cope with heat so I was advised to go to Spain in April after collapsing all the time on a July holiday.
When I got there it was mainland Spain this time and not an Island (Majorca), as it had been in the July.
They were having a freak heatwave. I remember another holidaymaker saying something about 120 degrees.
I was absolutely fine, though. I couldn't understand why I wasn't collapsing when it was so hot.
Turned out it was dry heat and not the wet heat that I'd endured in Majorca which just sapped your strength.
Layers, raincoatIt's only the last couple of years really I noticed it. It's literally been cold since last September then out the blue you get a red hot day. Am going away Monday in the UK but got a clue what to pack now
I knew someone who emigrated to Canada, it was much much colder in winter, but she said it was a dryer type of cold so was much more manageable and easier to cope with the snow
Yes!! I used to live in Oz and people don’t believe me when I say I used to have trousers and a cardigan on in 30 odd degrees then I came back here and even the high teens has me searching for shade
Yes,but I will pack that and the heat will comeback. The
weather apps change daily
just taking my light gilet a rainmac and a brolly.Especially in London the design of the city (especially the modern buildings) is absolutely awful for trapping in heat
Canary Wharf is like a permanent wind tunnel
It's all about energy efficiency and green design, but by people who think the UK is as cold now as it was in the fifties. They don't seem to realise people can deal more easily with a cold building than one which is too hot.
Bachelorette/bachelor parties, wedding showers, baby showers, etc.
Sorry but you get one day...not several months of attention and several gifts. I also think registries are downright rude and greedy. It's also pretty ironic how dual-income households expect their single friends to fund their lifestyle, and it never gets reciprocated!

This. Every celebration has turned into a cash grab. I'm happy for my friends' milestones but jfc how many gift registers and big expenses in a row a person can bear? And if you never get married or don't have kids, forget ever being celebrated or supported in return. large chance of even getting so much as a thank you text either.
After a bunch of ex-friends for whom I've forced my ever tightening budget, I'm fresh out of ducks to give. I'd rather not be invited.
The Met Gala. Why on earth does anyone care 
Yeh I hate the whole area, I find it so disorientating too
Yeh, I always think about that when I see lots of the new apartment blocks with so much glass, must be awful during heatwaves
Not forgetting the engagement parties/the gender reveal parties.
I'm betting that soon there'll also be: I've finally met 'my person' party!
Well in a way,there is one. It's called a "sip and see" Americans use it to "hard launch"Not forgetting the engagement parties/the gender reveal parties.
