58-65 is perfect summer weather if the sun is out.
Warm sun, slightly cooled air.
I'm even good with low 80s. Anything above that y'all can keep. I really enjoyed the 2 summers I spent in Bellingham, WA.

We get 80 degrees a handful of days a year, its pretty warm to me.
it usually comes with haze and forest fire smoke too.

85 would suck without AC, but it's not like I've never done a few stints of 90+ after a hurricane blows through. We have heat in south Louisiana, which we only use 12 days out of the year, why can't the bloody British get AC?

Poor babies. Should have moved into the 20th century and got air conditioning a long time ago.

The issue is likely the age (in some cases, hundreds of years) of the buildings. In London, buildings built less than 30-40 years ago seem to have A/C pretty consistently.
The underground (subway) is another matter. While it's generally cooler underground, the tiny arse cars that London uses are essentially enclosed sweatboxes packed with people.

Friends from Houston were transferred to London just before a similar heat wave. High of 85F. They sent me clipping of how horrible it was
Two things you guys are missing. 1. They are not accustomed to heat, and 2. They don’t have air conditioning. An 85 degree day is very uncomfortable if you don’t have AC.
I went to England for about 9 days last summer. They were having a tough heat wave, and it ended the day we arrived. That was fortunate, because our Air B&B had no AC.

I’ve been there when it topped 100.
All they had was a fan in the hotel room. I don’t mean a ceiling fan either, I mean a small, reticulating fan.
There was some sort of convention in town and I was stuck with that hotel, and that particular room.
In short…lights off, windows open, naked, with no sheets and a fan (non-groupie type) on my balls.
I didn’t enjoy that.

This thread’s a bloody dog’s breakfast.

I don’t know what any of those mean but my ears hurt now.

Throw in brick houses designed to purely keep heat in its bloody miserable.
Had a thunderstorm around 7pm though, was grateful for the wind to be honest

There is a reason, beyond shopping and space, that so many Brit/EU people that live in ultra metro areas spend so much time in pubs.
I'll take sunlight and pubs all day every day, but that's because I spent a month in Leeds in January and probably clocked less than 24 hours of clear skies the entire time.
Tokyo in the summer taught me to be equipped with handkerchiefs. Maybe at least the heat will keep the oil protestors from putting their dumbass hands on the asphalt. There's a bright side!

fricks up their beer. They pump from cellars and do not use glycol packs like we do
