Yes, this I do not get. We see tourists playing tennis etc in the noon-day sun all the time, and I always expect to see paramedics standing by. Runners who live here do it at 5 am to avoid the heat.
Just saw the Australian news reporting that the UK is also in the grip of a heatwave, and everyone is moaning and groaning about it being over 90oF. Of course the Australians,
who regularly get similar temperatures similar to those you are experiencing (over 100oF) think this is very funny, but the UK is just not built for temperatures over 80 (actually anything over 75oF is something of a surprise).
