@nbcnews: A deadly heatwave is sweeping across Europe, with temperatures approaching record levels. With a lack of air conditioning and plenty of old buildings that were made to retain warmth, NBC News’ Daniele Hamamdjian explains why the heat feels so intense in London.

Cher :

I don’t get it. Why don’t they have air conditioners.

Pup-camper :

They act like window units don’t exist.

MarTiczka :

I was suprised yesterday to saw aaa lot of pol on the street !!!

Stuck on Scribbles :

Homes in the U.S. are also built to hold heat. It’s called insulation…

PatxiLopez :

It has gotten over 40 degrees Celsius for years. Enough. Start installing AC. Get window units, splits, freestanding units, whatever. The government needs to subsidize it.

Lindsey Wilson :

I was in London last week (only 70 degrees!) and I felt sick because my tube ride was so hot. I can’t imagine what this week would be like!!!

Matt Alford1823 :

mini splits would be perfect. they work as both an air conditioner in summer and a heat pump in winter

Eric Wight :

The tube 🚇

nicred :

Lunulis 🧚‍♀️ Kids' Empire 👑 :

doxie60 :

Adam Royce Santos :

Was there last summer and it was so freaking hot… these heatwaves are becoming more common.

Matt Alford1823 :

I just turn on the air conditioning. yall are going to have to integrate air conditioning into your lives. even if the government has to do it

Deanna Miller-Reed :

Stanley Wright :

it’s okay

mcgeekeller :

People can take the money they save from having universal healthcare and install ac.

Billthephotoguy :

Window units are $300

Youniverse888 :

sorry it's my fault I just said this would happen 2 days ago and the country wouldn't have air conditioning set up when that global warming sweeps in....

melting_in_AZ :

I lived there for 3yrs. Create your own swamp cooler. Fans with a spray bottle. It works wonders when it’s warm. Especially, since screens to keep bugs out aren’t common either.
