An American who moved to the UK has gone viral after sharing her experience of a British heatwave, claiming that homes in the UK are not equipped to cope with hot weather.
Stacey, who previously lived in Louisiana, said the heat inside her flat was far worse than anything she experienced in the US, describing the trapped air as like "a hot fart". She argued that the widespread use of air conditioning in America is one of its great strengths.
She pointed out that while outdoor temperatures in the UK may not be extreme, the lack of cooling systems in homes leads to unbearable conditions. She admitted that fans were "not cutting it".
Many Britons agreed with her comments, noting that UK homes are designed to retain heat and become stifling during heatwaves, especially at night.
The debate over whether UK heatwaves feel worse than those abroad has been reignited, with many calling for better cooling infrastructure in British homes.
