@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok No facts have been shown and in bad faith you won’t accept the fact that your opinion was wrong

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Just because you don't like a demonstrable fact doesn't mean it's bad faith, keep trying kid.

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Let me guess, flagstaff lol

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Separate events, me actually living in Arizona was for my masters, the digs are since, but do go on making shit up about my life.

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok lol you said you lived in Arizona you little liar 🤥 a couple digs is not 300+ days of sunshine per year and 75+ days with a high over 110+. It’s so hot here a contingent of the population moves every spring and moves back in the fall. Humidity sucks, this is a blast furnace

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Sure bud. Have fun in the hottest feeling place on earth according to Jeffy. You Texas boys are silly, some of my favorite but can’t admit being wrong

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok lol such bad faith argument. You will die faster in PHX, Az from exposure than any place in the south. Not sure how hot a dead person FEELS but they’re for sure hotter and deader than your nice little sauna.

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Dig a little deeper on that, there's a reason there's more heat related deaths out there, and it's not the heat itself, it's blind confidence.

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Been to 3 digs out there, was it hot and difficult, yes, but Dallas was still worse. My entire department agrees save one guy who grew up in Arizona, and he even dreads swimming through the air on a hot day.

You’re not just wrong, you’re retarded. Arizona heat will kill you faster than just about any on earth. You’ll never see shit like this in the other South. Monsoon season takes it to a place you can’t fathom. 118 and raining in the am Then full sunshine with no cloud cover in the pm. You boys would spontaneously combust day 1

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Yes and 118 degrees with zero humidity will always feel worse than 95 degrees at 80% humidity. I’ve done door to door sales in Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, and Florida. Arizona is hotter. I pray for humidity with how dried out you get here

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok And we're not talking about facts, though it IS a demonstrable fact that the human body will feel the same temperature differently if it's a dry or humid heat. This isn't an emotional feeling, we actually can measure a body's reaction to this kind of thing in multiple ways.

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Feelings are subjective. Facts don’t care about your feelings. If I tried to articulate the feeling you would just argue semantics, therefore I utilized the supercomputer at my fingertips to try and use information to inform your wrong opinion

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader @grok Did you really go to AI for something about how weather FEELS? Can't think for yourself AND can't articulate how things feel...not a good look.

@RoseandCr0ss @CertainTeaa Did you try making a small “o” with your lips and blowing down the jacket so you look like the Michelin man? If not, it’ll never do

@cincinnatusaz @CertainTeaa Well, I’ve been out and bought a light summer jacket, but I’m still hot though… are you sure this works?

“iNsUlAtIoN wOrKs BoTh WaYs” yeah & yet somehow countries built for actual heat don’t build houses like the UK. British homes were designed to survive cold, damp winters not 30°C heatwaves with no AC, no shutters, poor airflow, and brick walls that store heat all day like an oven

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader You’re wrong, and that’s okay. @grok explain to Jeff how Arizona is a hotter climate in terms of temperature and sun exposure compared to the places listed in the previous tweet.

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader I've lived in Arizona, Dallas, Houston, and Chicago, I can say pretty well dry heat is nothing compared to humid as hell heat.

@RinnosukeETQW @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader Go stick your head in the oven and see how that dry heat treats you

@cincinnatusaz @kangaroobixcube @Cyn1calCrusader That's a dry heat, no comparison

@RoseandCr0ss @CertainTeaa Glad my help could prove so bountiful to the land of my forefathers. Cant believe all it took to solve all your problems was me

@cincinnatusaz @CertainTeaa Of course. That is completely the same thing, you’re right. Not sure how I missed that old chap.

@RoseandCr0ss @CertainTeaa It once every decade snows in southern Arizona. I have a winter jacket for just those occasions. It’s called planning ahead

@cincinnatusaz @CertainTeaa Because these heatwaves have been, and continue to be so far, around 4-5 days max per year… there might be a big song and dance about it during those few days, but for the other 360 days of the year AC is completely unnecessary, so the motivation to spend money on it is low.

@dondons100 @AkkadSecretary We dropped u and you around 1776 😂

@cincinnatusaz @AkkadSecretary You’re so right (and it’s humour btw🤣).

British people responding these magic boxes all confused as why you would buy it when its only really hot for 2 weeks and cold the rest of the time. Guys, it can heat up the room too.

@bogposting You started the personal attacks buddy. Quit carrying the unfrozen water of the dumb Europeans

@cincinnatusaz You're being intentionally obstinate. I live in the deep south, you were instructing me on what to do, when I was simply stating that a country north of Canada is not built for this, and frozen water bottles are a bandaid on a much bigger issue.

Those places are all part of the Tropical or subtropical climate and have for the most part the infrastructure to manage the sticky, miserable humidity. The UK is supposedly a temperate climate, but 90-100 degree weather in May is crazy. This description seems outdated.

@dondons100 @AkkadSecretary It will preserve the intentions of your famously dry humor

@cincinnatusaz @AkkadSecretary I’ll add a few banned in the uk additives too!

@LigmaMael @Cyn1calCrusader Phoenix in the middle of July with all the asphalt and skyscrapers is the closest to hell on earth I have come. The air is devoid of oxygen seemingly

@cincinnatusaz @Cyn1calCrusader There isn't any airflow either. I was not prepared for it. When I was there, it felt like I was constantly standing next to a fire.

@dondons100 @AkkadSecretary Maybe sugarcoat it a little more, you know how we love our sweets in the land of the bravely obese

@cincinnatusaz @AkkadSecretary Next time I’ll label it sarcasm when I speak to someone from America, although that does kind of spoil the effect. Hey ho.

@fluffyfiberrawr @MontaguCoded Daft runs in the family. I’m sure my ancestors were mentally ill because they settled here before air conditioning. The demons they carried prepared them for a land hotter than hell haha

@cincinnatusaz @MontaguCoded You live in a blast furnace ofc you have a different sense of what you consider hot. About as daft as if northern canadians made fun of texans for crying over how cold it was during the 2021 power grid failure

Genuinely why do Americans think everything revolves around them. You are able to just ignore a Brit complaining about the temperature. Why do you feel the need to go “well I have it worse!!” and then get upset when they get annoyed.
