The big difference between the heatwaves of 1976 and 2018.
June 1976: the UK was one of the warmest places relative to normal across the globe, with most areas cooler than average.

fluids. Unless you deny climate change! In which case, thirst is also just fake science, so you should just drink sawdust!
