I grew up in England for over 3 decades and have lived in Australia for over 3 decades. GB infrastructure and people are not geared up for this kind of heat. We handle it from time to time here. But earlier this year here in Perth we had 5 consecutive days of +40c for the first time ever.
There is an ancient Chinese curse 'May you live in interesting times'. (I think it may have changed slightly over the years and through translation though). But certainly things are getting way too 'Interesting' all over the world. I truly fear for my children and my childrens children 🙁
