You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Music Hi everybody and welcome to How Did What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class.

With me, your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlet, and Reader of Books.

If you are new here, welcome and consider this your warning i have been

So it hit like 28 degrees.

In some places it was hit in 30, and that's Celsius.

That's like 80 to like 90 Fahrenheit or whatever.

And we had humidity, as it turns out, that was the same as Florida.

And this is in an area that is built to retain heat. Like, that's the whole thing. UK and Ireland,

everything is about keeping in as much heat as possible. So, like,, right? And Spain feels like 28 degrees.

28 degrees and, you know, Italy, 28 degrees, right? 28 degrees. 28 degrees and Argentina. 28 degrees.

But 28 degrees. And a temperate zone somehow feels like your skin is melting off like it was so

humid like I felt like I could bite the air it was like walking through soup it was unpleasant
