Social media users are debating whether the UK's temperatures reaching 26°C (78°F) constitute a heatwave. Some find it amusing that Brits are reacting strongly to what others consider mild weather. The UK is bracing for a 30°C heatwave lasting 72 hours.

Okay, yes, it is funny that the Brits are freaking out about a 78 degree "heat wave", and yes, many Americans get through that just fine without A/C, as my family did when our A/C broke last month. But our homes are adapted to American summer temperatures, British homes aren't.

English pensioners run off to Tuscany or Majorca constantly to enjoy… https://t.co/YDSCIeoKBP https://t.co/34V2EIxpim
