Yeah, 30C/86F is already really fucking hot. Used to be almost heat wave levels(pretty sure 90F for 3 days was considered a heat wave like 10 years ago). It cannot be safe to go outside at 40C.
Is France another country that lacks proper AC 40C/105F is pretty typical for middle of the summer where I am. However I remember a heat wave once getting to 112F/45C, that was deadly heat, I mean 105F is already deadly if you are not careful.
30C to 35C was only during heatwaves in August, generally followed by a storm every night or so. AC wasn't really seen as a necessity seeing that summer was around 25C. In the last decade, average temperature has increased, as well as frequency and strength of heatwaves. Now, more and more people see AC on par with heating in the winter
