I nearly pee’d myself laughing because the majority of Brits are just like this.
British worries.

Ah, not in Britain.
Sunny and 22 degrees Celsius.
“Lovely day, just wish there was more of a breeze”,
“It’s hot today isn’t it” ,
“I hope we get some cloud cover soon” ,
“I can’t believe how hot it is, it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow thankfully” ,
Etc...
Remember this is weather, something us Britain's can spend hours talking about, especially when it's weather we're not used to. Lol. Anything past 20 Celsius in the U.K. is, "oh my God, what hell is this" .

Overheard in Stoke-on-Trent one summer:
“With weather like this, who needs Italy?”
I saw more shorts than trousers that day. I thought it was Armageddon.

A bit few Australian and American comedians have described how British don’t plan for hot sunny weather because we genuinely never know when we’ll get it. It’ll be Friday morning and they’ll get a message from a British friend saying, ‘BBQ Saturday’, and that they needed more time to plan but would go into a supermarket and see Brits buying up anything BBQ related in the hope the weather forecasters were right and it’ll be 20 degrees Celsius the next day.
If we get more than a few days over 20 degrees, shops everywhere in the U.K. will be sold out of fans by day 5-7.

Meanwhile at the other end of the Gulf Stream, it’s 40+ degrees C and high humidity. Life just moves
at half speed when it’s like that. And we still BBQ, of course. I do that all year round :)

Ye’, there are different types of heat.
Living in Saudi it was a lot hotter but more comfortable than a European heat.
Quite a few Americans that visit during a hot period even say how the heat here while cooler than back home, is less bearable.

My only real discomfort is the all-day, vague drizzle when it’s 5-10 C. It always feels much colder than it is and you’re permanently wet. Not cold enough to bundle up like a winter storm, but not quite summer.
We rarely get those conditions here, but it’s miserable.

Yep, that’s Cumbria weather. Drizzle, the rain that gets you wet but you don’t realise it at the time.
I take a lightweight softshell jacket with me everywhere. Even to Spain during a heatwave (we still got three days of really heavy rain in the first few days).

I almost hit a woman riding a black bicycle through a cross walk at night, she was wearing a black coat and pants. It was one of the scariest moments I've had while driving.

A former colleague of mine did hit someone on the crossing a while back. A guy in his 70s dressed in all black very early on a winter morn ing and so still rather dark, stepped off the kerb at a pelican crossing without waiting for the lights to change to stop traffic. My colleague Kyle caught him with the wing mirror and spun him round where he hit the rear door and rear wing. He went to hospital and died fiv e days later. He went to see the old man each day and it shook him hard when the guy died but the police found no fault with him and the guy’s family didn’t hold anything against him.
