dasklaus
I hear this often but it's never been true for me. I can't regulate temperature well, when cold, more clothes don't help, I keep shivering.
IrrationalNumber
If your body has trouble keeping temp up, clothes will help less. They insulate what heat exists, not generate more.
dasklaus
Exactly. Once I'm cold, I can't get warm again, not even with blankets and thick clothes. Heat is unpleasant, but not impairing, for me.

Debatable. When the power goes out and your water stops flowing due to ice the cold can lead you to dehydration

rubypilgrim
if anyone here is from the UK, some quick tips from California: keep at least 1 foot or hand chilled, like in a glass or bucket of ice-
rubypilgrim
water. It will go along way to stave off heat exhaustion. Also: damp cloths in the refrigerator, for wrapping neck or head. Pour a little -
rubypilgrim
water into some glasses and freeze them - will take longer for ice to melt. Finally - check up on your neighbors, and look up symptoms of-
rubypilgrim
heat exhaustion and overheating. Watch your pets, keep them cool and hydrated. By the time symptoms appear, it may be too late.

As a dude from southeast TX, I agree with everything this person has said. A cool bath or shower will also help. Look out for each other.

Hey if it saves lives now and they only run them for a few weeks out of the year then it's definitely worth it.

NoSirIDoNotHaveBoloneyInMyPants
Exactly. It’s always “treat the symptoms, not the source”. Saying we can still stop & reverse this because we have “plans” is delusional.

aircons are heat pumps. 1 m3 of gas can produce 4x more heat when used to make electricity to drive a heat pump....

I'd like to point out that the de-icing in modern heat pumps also means they are way more versatile and useful in colder climates.

A lot are, but it's expensive due to older homes. My recent lowest quote for aircon for one room came to £1700, not including running costs.
drspangle
Do you have aircon there? Less than 0.5% of UK homes have air conditioning
tupacshomie
Yup. 100% have ac here. You can buy a good wall unit for $400. Why wouldn’t more people do that? Even for just a few months of the year.
imakesoap
But do you have power for your AC, Texas bd it’s power grid and all
imakesoap
*and it’s power grid and all
Selerox
Because it doesn't get this hot here. EVER. Our homes aren't designed for this, because until recently this literally NEVER happened.
LordElups
Our homes are designed to keep the warmth in. Have been for hundreds of years. Retrofitting AC to a whole country is a huge task.
TheHonestPenguin
You might be able to buy one that cheap. But the market for the units doesn't exist here, so they're more expensive
agentcutielocks
Because the UK is generally cooler for the rest of the year, so for their cost we wouldn't see a return on that $400 investment for years.
tupacshomie
You shouldn’t use the past as an accurate average for the future. Average temps are getting higher every year.
agentcutielocks
Also, a lot of UK homes are quite old, and because of how they're built, you'd have to add renovation costs to that installation as well --

To be fair, fahrenheit's use for weather is basically the only imperial measurement usage which is more intuitive.
