I’m from the UK. When I was out in Dubai, I worked through a 40-45°C midday without slowing down much, with plenty of water.
In the UK, the humidity and buildings mean I start slowing down around 25°C, 35°C has me basically a lost cause, in less I push myself hard. 40+ is hellish.
Northern Europe isn’t built for heat. It’s built to trap heat.
Wait is Europe generally that humid? I can’t even imagine 40C+ degree weather with high humidity.

Yes, very humid.
In German, we use to call it Waschküchenwetter (Laundry room weather) as in the old days washing involved a lot of boiling water.
Funny how the terms have changed their meaning, when I was young it meant cold very foggy days in the Rhine area.
I mean, apart from the places that aren’t…
These are completely unremarkable temperatures for quite a lot of Europe, and quite a lot of Europe isn’t particularly humid.
“North-West Europe” != “Europe” (however much they think it to be true…)
