It’s really not, 100+ days aren’t common except in the desert southwest and Texas.
41.5 is 106 degrees.
It’s hot, even for the USA, but the real issue is these areas don’t have universal air conditioning like we tend to in the USA.
They aren’t being wussies or just not used to it, these are dangerous temperatures regardless of where you are.
Not only is there no air conditioning, but the average house is really well insulated, which is great in winter but can make it really difficult to cool your house down in this kind of heat
The good news is a well insulated house is easier to keep cool when/if retrofitted with split zone heat pumps.
The bad news is we’re gonna throw Europe past the climate range where heat pumps do the jobby.
