It’s hot. So hot, in fact, that my shins are currently sweating – something I didn’t know was possible.
Having relocated to the UK after 12 years in Denmark, I’m not prepared for this. Not because Scandinavia doesn’t experience heatwaves – this summer, Finland has had three straight weeks of 30C heat, and the Arctic Circle has recorded a fortnight of record-busting temperatures – but because they are better equipped at dealing with it.
