    Not everyone has the means here either and even those of us that do often don’t have the means to run it at comfortable levels- my AC is set to 30c in summer, 18c in winter. Just enough to be tolerable.

    But if you don’t have the means, you need to find other ways to cool down - our general advice in heatwaves to the elderly (that are at higher risk and often don’t have the means to run ac all day) is to go to shopping centres, public libraries and government buildings to stay cool.

    Drinks LOTS of chilled water.

    ‘Just deal with it’ isn’t that takeaway, it’s if you do nothing, you will die. The government can’t regulate the whether to be more amenable to human life.
