Many European cities, including London, are not designed to deal with this sort of heat. Air conditioning is uncommon in homes across Europe, which has historically had a temperate climate, nor is it widespread on public transportation systems.
Forget Brexit -- when Queen Elizabeth was snapped in a photo op with Britain's new Prime Minister this week amid record temperatures, all anyone could talk about was her Dyson fan pictured in the background.
"The Queen must be feeling the heat ... I guess there isn't any air con in #BuckinghamPalace," one Twitter user wrote, remarking on the silver fan sitting at the foot of the Queen's gilded armchair.And, while there was some speculation that the fan's cameo role might be product placement for prominent Brexiteer James Dyson, the overwhelming reaction was: The Queen, she's just like us -- trying to stay cool.
