I've just been looking at a graph of historical peak summer temperatures. In the 70s the peak was 35.9°C, with a majority being below 30°C. Back then 30°C was extremely hot.

A lot of homes were already standing back then, with most modern homes built on the same ethos.

    Highest were over 30C regularly in the 1800's and later a peak under 30C was rare.
    35C is NOT 'extreme' for humans or an exceptional temperature.
    Yes it's hot. But nothing more than that.

    Lets play "How Hot is too hot for Bloomcole", 30C at 90% humidity? Or hows 40C at 70%? How about 100% humidity?? Nobody has ever died from heat before, everyone has AC!
