We actually had several days over 40 degrees, which was terrifying. I don't think I ever experienced that in Australia. That being said, I had some advantages when living in Australia: the place where I last lived (my mum's current flat) is on the sixth floor of a block of flats, with windows that get almost constant southerly breezes from Sydney Harbour. So it's always very cool and airy inside, never humid, and generally quite pleasant. The other thing is that I left Australia in my early twenties — meaning that the entire time I lived there, I was either a school student (who had nothing strenuous to do during the hottest time of the year) or I was a uni student who worked in weekend/holiday shop jobs in bakeries which closed on Christmas Eve and reopened after Australia Day, meaning again I had nothing to do during those very hot times of the year. Obviously in the UK I'm a fulltime employee and have to work much of the summer.
Thankfully, it rained last night and this morning, and everything has cooled down a lot.
