France hit 5000 heat-related deaths from the heat wave (about 14 days) that lasted over europe while I spent my nearly 3 weeks in Germany.
And just about *nobody* had any air conditioning over there! There were a few nights where opening up all of the hotel room doors and windows did nothing, since there was *no* breeze either.
Many places in Germany were also 35'C to 40'C for most of the time we were there. That's a range of 95'F to 104'F. For fourteen days. With NO AC in hotel rooms, cafes, or museums.
