It has only been 100°F once in the last century. Nobody has any point of reference to make this intuitive. 30°C/85°F is defined as hot around here. 40°C/100°F is defined as national emergency.

The heat index gets over 100°F in much of the southern US every summer

"It has only been 100F once in the last century"

Lmao what?? Go ahead and find me a source for that.

I guarantee you it reaches 100F regularly during summer in many temperate climates, that's not even including warmer regions.

Do you think your little small town is the only place in the universe?

it reaches 100F regularly during summer in many temperate climates,

Not when it's near the sea, like most of western Europe. It's the same shit as "why don't you have airco?" Because it was never that hot.

Tell that to the gulf coast, or Mexico, or central America, or Africa, or Australia.

Your experiences are not universal. Just because you've never seen 100F doesn't mean no one else has. That's absurd.
