I'd say the accessibility of A/C is pretty much the only thing making certain climates tolerable for a good part of the year.
Not only A/C, but building construction and acclimation. But my point is that, the average American likely tolerates heat better than the average Brit, our averages are warmer than yours, and we experience these temperatures on a regular basis.
I doubt it. Our humidity isn't any different than Europe when they get a heatwave.
Right now it is 86F with a dewpoint of 60F and feels a lot better than yesterday. And not a thunderstorm yet around here, even yesterday. I haven't seen a thunderstorm in Philly yet this summer. What is the point of high dewpoints if you get zero tstorms?
Yesterday evening one of the bushes in my garden was swarmed by honeybees collecting nectar, and they're back today. They're not bothersome, just never really seen honeybees in my garden before. Usually just see bumblebees and wasps. Maybe the warmer weather has encouraged them (even though on hot days in the past I've never seen them).
Meh, as long as there are no wasps or hornets. Hate those things.
I love seeing local honeybees ever since I started eating only raw unprocessed honey. It is amazing and highly recommend it with peanut butter. Yum!!

You're incorrect big time.... not talking about the coastal Med. You said London.. Just go to wunderground and compare peak heat/dew points. They are miles apart.
Lol how the heck does he know they can't cope as he isn't really there right now.
I briefly followed Joe Bastardi on twitter today, and immediately unfollowed him. He is extremely political ranting about Obama and apparently loves Trump. Every other tweet is a rant against Democrats and Obama or Hillary. Geez.

Probably basing it off of news media reports over sensationalizing it.
