In reply to the discussion: 'Potentially Dangerous' Heatwave Set To Strike Europe [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)18. Pretty much none.
Ive been to Europe twice during heat waves. You just cant escape the heat. And unlike we Floridians they are not used to it at all.
Even in Florida most people just dont go out much in the summer. As a southerner I actually like the heat. But I now only go to Europe in the fall or spring. 95 in Paris is deadly. No AC, no breeze and humid as all get out.
