Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
You have to consider a heat wave is hot for any country that officially endures it. In the Netherlands, temperatures of 35 degrees Celcius are quite unusual for this period of time; the people here are not used to it. Likewise, if you're used to 30 degrees C, you'll "suffer" when you have to endure 50 degrees for a longer period of time.

For example, I know someone (from the Netherlands) who went to the USA and, at 20 Celcius, while he was walking with T-Shirts, others were wearing warm clothes covering their arms and such: they were not used to such "cold" temperatures. Likewise, people from the Netherlands can likely endure -10C better than people from certain parts of the USA. I could go on saying that Inuits...

So say whatever you like about the city, windmills and tullips; heat waves are heat waves.
