Mean daily maximum in July and August in Utrecht is 23C/73F (compare to 30C/85F in Chicago and NYC). The Netherlands is further north and a lot more moderated by ocean temperatures - it's kind of like SF in that regard except the entire country has a similar climate so AC is not a cultural expectation. |

Which is why heat waves/domes can be so lethal in Europe: people/infrastructure are not prepared for them.

Same problem in Vancouver, Canada: it's a Marine climate, so when heat hits, folks aren't prepared for it.
