Yeah, all they need is common sense... ahem.

I was in England in late 80s and early 90’s. Even when temperatures hit 85 degrees there was heat related deaths. And yes it got over 90 several times.
I was born in NW Missouri nearly every July and August it reaches 100 degrees or more. My grandpa was poor we didn’t have air conditioning. People worked 10 or 12 hours in heat. Only remember a few heat related problems.
I was also stationed in ft worth tx. In 1980 the whole month of June it never got below 100 degrees during the day or less than 85 at night. I worked on flight line, concrete oven.
