Didn't you buy a place in Portugal? Doesn't that get pretty toasty?

Next time you move house and it's advertised as having a South, West or SW facing garden think properly about where you can put in shade.

I just came back from Spain, it was 37 deg c in the shade, it felt fine to me.

I went to Scotland once.

The weather was hotter than in London and it was hot.

Shut it dumbkopf.
Houses in portugal in the Douro are cleverly designed to be cool in summer e.g. no ceilings allowing air to circulate through the rooms, windows facing away from the afternoon sun and a few other clever tricks.
Whereas in the UK all house windows and gardens face south if they can.
