Been hearing of the unusually hot weather in britain, and mainland
Europe lately (southern Germany 102 F!), and of course thought,
Oh dear, and they don't have air conditioning!
But, is this altogether true? Is it known what proportion of
domestic and commercial buildings now have air conditioning in Britain, and/or
Europe generally, I wonder?

Here in north texas, it's been flickering around 98 - 102 F, fairly
normal for July, and a distinct lack of rainfall. Air conditioning
units and lawn sprinklers all going like crazy!
