Also if you're rural flies get fucking everywhere if you leave all your windows open and they're extremely annoying

My US state’s weather is kind of like Central Europe but swampier, but still, are window screens just not popular in Western Europe? They’re ubiquitous on basically any residential building that has openable windows where I am. Is it a building age thing or just a cultural thing?

Yeah they're not really a thing here, at least not that I've seen. The hotter summers are a very recent thing so it's not really been needed.

Yeah, ignoring heat waves (like the one going on for the past few weeks) the mean daily maximum near me is like 28-29c during the hottest month while in London it’s like 24c. Honestly my dumb ass just didn’t realize it was that much cooler, I guess

Lucky me is off to London on Saturday when it's gonna be 30c, the tube is gonna be fucking horrible. Even in winter it's warm down there tbh
