A young expat has revealed her shock after moving to the UK and realising hot it feels compared to Australia, even at the same temperature.<\/p>\n
Emily Brogan, from Brisbane, recently moved to London and regularly shares her observations on the differences between the two cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The social media star claimed the current British heatwave has her considering flying back to Australia because she feels like a ‘rotisserie chicken being cooked’.<\/p>\n
‘The weather in the UK is something else,’ she said. ’28C in Britain is different to the same temperature in Australia.’<\/p>\n
Emily recalled laughing at Britain’s 2022 heatwave where residents complained about 30C weather – but\u00a0everything changed when she moved to London herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
‘I thought you were all a pair of sooks who needed to harden up,’ she revealed.<\/p>\n
Emily then experienced her first British heatwave and couldn’t cope with the heavy humidity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We only had a week of summer [in London] and the temperature was in the high-20s – but I was dying. I was not sleeping, I had my windows shut because I was scared and I live in an [unsafe] area.<\/p>\n
‘It literally was the most f**king draining time – and I knew I couldn’t act the same way back home.’<\/p>\n
Emily added, ‘If I complained about 28C in Australia, I’d be exported from the country. I’d be so embarrassed.’<\/p>\n
The Brisbane woman finally understood why Londoners prefer low-20s weather because it was ‘nice’ and there was a ‘cool breeze’.<\/p>\n
‘I’m getting ready for the UK winter now and I’m trying to convince myself I prefer it after almost dying during the one week of summer we had.’<\/p>\n
‘My deepest apologies to the Brits,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Many Londoners thanked her to sharing the ‘truth’ about English summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Everyone laughs at us until they experience a British heatwave –\u00a0UK heat is from the pits of hell,’ a woman said.<\/p>\n
‘The way everyone says we’re being dramatic until they actually experience it,’ another echoed.<\/p>\n
‘British heat is is like moist and damp and other countries have dry heat which obviously is less hot,’ a third said.<\/p>\n
‘Last year it was 40C and it felt like being cooked,’ a woman said. ‘My house in South London was 37C inside. No air-conditioner, built to hold heat and humidity!’<\/p>\n
Other expats shared similar experiences to Emily.<\/p>\n
‘It’s been averaging 42C here in Texas, I grew up in the UK and I would take Texas’s 42C over UK’s 28C any day,’ a man said.<\/p>\n
‘I lived in France and every summer it was 40C – but oh my, 27C in England is like 39C in France,’ another wrote.<\/p>\n
