The Morning Poll: Why does Britain fall apart when it gets hot?

Britain often finds itself in disarray when temperatures rise, unlike many other countries that handle heat with relative ease. This struggle is due to a combination of cultural, infrastructural, and historical factors. Many Britons aren't accustomed to high temperatures, leading to unpreparedness in terms of both behavior and infrastructure. This issue highlights the need for adaptation strategies as climate change brings more frequent and intense heatwaves. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for planning better responses to future heat events.
