Tell us something new.

But this week's heatwave across Britain and much of Europe doesn't feel like an ordinary event.

Take it from Fiona Harvey, the Guardian's environment editor.

At its hottest, the country saw a record-breaking 35 degrees.

Sweaty, maybe feeling unwell, unable to sleep.

In short, I am allowed to be cranky because it's very, very hot.

Absolutely.

I'm not getting enough sleep.

We should all be cranky.

And this isn't just about the fact that we're not acclimatized to tropical nights.

It's our entire infrastructure.

Homes, schools, hospitals, office blocks, most of which weren't built for the climate we now have.

From The Guardian, I'm Nosheen Iqbal, today in Focus.

If this is the new normal, how do we adapt?

Fiona, it is hot.

It was much hotter earlier this week, but it is still very warm today.

You are The Guardian's environment editor, our cool, calm voice.

Now, before I get to the big questions of climate change, how do you deal with a heatwave?

Are you a baseball hat, a bucket hat?

What kind of hat do you wear?
