In reply to the discussion: 'Potentially Dangerous' Heatwave Set To Strike Europe [View all]appalachiablue
(41,118 posts)5. Gute frage, I doubt it, but don't know for sure. It was never
a need for us, so far over several trips. But in England a/c isn't standard I'm almost certain. Years ago there I heard people on a train from Cambridge to London discussing a 'heatwave' and thought, what are they talking about? It was maybe in the low-mid 80s. Later that day while in the British Museum looking at Egyptian mummies in cases I became bit dizzy. People were so worried but I was ok once I sat down-- I told them it was the bodies, not the 'heat'! LOL
Over the last 10-15 years I've seen many people saying how Europe will need to put in major a/c all over.
