Well, tomorrow it is projected to be 111º F (43.9º C) in Phoenix, Arizona which is pretty damned hot but I think I would still characterize what the UK is experiencing right now as hot too!
It's true that everything is relative. Here is an interesting map from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showing the hottest temperatures ever recorded in the United States as of June, 2022.
The highest temperature ever recorded in the U.S. (a world record) was 134º F (56.7º C) on the afternoon of July 10, 1913, at
Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California according to the United States Weather Bureau.
June 2022 was the Earth's warmest June on record. It's looking like July will be the hottest July on record.
